THE BARD FAMILY

PART I

A CHRONICLE OF THE BARDS

^T^HE American habit of assuming that certain
-*- surnames are of Scotch origin and being trans-
phmted from Scothmd to Irehmd have given to the
Ignited States a distinctive people, generally described
as Scotch-Irish, often leads to results that are mis-
leading. No better example of the confusion conse-
quent upon attempting to restrict to a small kingdom
a family name common to many lands can be foimd
than the surname Bard, Barde, Baird or Beard.
Speaking of the derivation of the name from the
ancient Bards, Cosmo Innes, in his essay concerning
some Scotch names, says: "the historian of an extant
family of the ancient name of Baird, not satisfied with
such a probable connection with the Muses, claims
for them kindred with Boiardo, the Italian poet. But
we had Bairds, or Bards, landed men, much earlier
than suits that poetic origin." The name is found in
Scotland as early as the thirteenth century. Duncan
Bard, Stirlingshire, and Fergus de Bard, John Bard
and Nicholas Bard, I^anarkshire, are named in
"The Ragman's Roll," 129G. The fact that they did
homage to King Edward I, at the time of his "con-

A (1)

quest" of Scotland, shows that they were men of
consequence.

More than a century l)efore Duncan Bard and
Fergus de Bard swore fealty to Iving Edward at Ber-
wick, Ugone di Bard, of the A'alley of Aosta, in Pied-
mont, made allegiance to Tomaso I. of Savoy, going
for this purpose in 1191 in charge of his tutor, Bona-
facio di Monferrato. Ugone. his father, ranked next
to the N'iscount of Aosta, first lord of the valley. He
was of ancient lineage and rich in lands, vineyards,
villages and castles. Of his life at Castle Bard we
know nothing , except that he had three sons, Ugone
II, Anselmo and (iuglielmo. To the youngest. C4ug-
lielnio, the father bequeathed the Signoria di Bard.
This caused a burst of resentment in Tgone II, who
denied his inheritance to (iuglielmo and relegated the
cadet to the castle of Pont S. Martino. (TUglielmo
rose in arms against his brother and a fraternal war
ensued. The combatants harried the vale of ^\osta,
and even sacked and fired the inheritances of each
other, (iuglielmo bin-nt the castle of Champocher.
Ugone destroyed the village and vineyard of Donnaz.
Besides a son of Guglielmo was made a prisoner by
Ugone. After much sanguinary and destructive war-
fare peace between the l)rotliers was restored, June
19, 1214, through Oltimo, bishop of Ivrea, Ugone
remaining the Lord of Bard and Ciuglielmo accepting
Pont San Martino and iVrnaz.

For a quarter of a century after the restoration of
peace between the brothers Ugone di Bard pursued a
life of brigandage and the Pass Bard was a place of
terror. Finally, being called to order by Ciottofriedo.

A CHUONICLK OF THE HAUDS :)

\'iscouiit of Aosta. the wicked Lord of Bard turned
upon the Viscount with the savage temerity of a mas-
tiff, and in liis reckless scorn of (iottofriedo's author-
ity he refused homage to Count Amedio of Sa\'oy, as
is shown by an agreement between Count Amedio
and the A'iscount of Aosta. According to this docu-
ment Lord (lottofriedo and his brothers promised
faithful advice and assistance to the Lord Amedio
and his men until such time as the Rock Bard should
be taken. Neither peace nor mercy was to be extended
to Signor l/gone di Bard, or to his people, until the
castle had fallen and its defenders been made prisoners.
In his turn, the Count of Sa\'oy promised five hun-
dred "marchi" of silver to (xottofriedo, should he
capture the castle of Bard and make Ugone a pris-
oner. Being thus driven into a corner the I^ord of
Bard sin-rendered to the Coimt of Sa\'oy, but refused
to give himself up as a prisoner, preferring to renounce
all right to home and land rather than to bend his
head as a vassal. His brother ^Vnselmo, having also
incurred the wrath of his sovereign, was likewise
deprived of his badly go\'erned lands. Conquered but
not tamed, the two brothers departed fore\"er from
the ^"alley of Aosta and were never again heard of
there. It is probable that Lgone took with him his
two youngest sons, Rainero and Rossetto, but his two
elder sons, Marco and Aymone, refused to join their
father in his revolt and received from the Count of
Savoy the Signoria of Sarre, and the lands Introd-
Scarriod and of Chatel ^Vrgent. The Count reserved
to himself the Castle Bard.

Both brothers, Marco and >\ymone, took the name

4 Tin; HARD lAMILV

of Sarriod. and were afterwards known as Sarriod d'
Introd and Sarriod de la Tour. In a collection of
papers on the Val' d' Aosta, published by F. Ci.
Frutas in 1891, is a copy of the will of (Juglielnio
Sarriod, si^nore of Chatel Argent. In this will, which
was dated in 127!), he left the whole of the castle,
{totdiii homtiit mcdiii dc Cd.stic ^tr^cntat) to Doinina
Leonardo, his wife, expecting her to live in it with
her three sons. From this it is argued by (iuiseppe
Ciiacosa, the author of " I C'astelli \'aldostani," that
the Castle Argent could not have been originally
what it is said all castles were at that time a tower
with at most two dwelling rooms. IJoasting of se\eral
living rooms, Signor (iiacosa infers that it nmst have
been amplified and enlarged considerably from its
earliest form, which from unmistakable traces dates
back to Roman times. In this connection he points
out that while what remains standing of the Castle of
Pont iMartino belongs to the thirteenth century, there
are about it iimumerable traces showing the original
construction to be of nuich earlier date. There is a
kitchen that is very interesting of the kind, the ceil-
ing of which is arched in a manner to form the
chimney. This ceiling is made cupola shape, with a
hole pierced in the center, so that if a tire was built in
the middle of the hall the smoke woukl escape through
the orifice in the ceiling. The family could thus sit
around the fire without aimoyance from the smoke.
A similar kitchen is found in the Castle of Introd.
built or at least improxed in 1220, by Marco oi-
Marquetus di Hard, to whom the Pont San Martino
also belonged.

A CHRONICLE OF THE BARDS 5

After the Duke of Savoy acquired tlie Castle Bard
ill 1238, lie presented tliis Ilock Bard, according to
the document of V2ii already (quoted, to his brother
Tomasso di Savoya, Count of Flanders and Heinault,
and it then became a State fortress. To make it
worthy of its new character it was surrounded with
bastions and furnished with artillery. In this condi-
tion it remained until the close of the seventeentli
century. In 1704. the Fort was surprised and taken
by the Duke of Fogliato, who descended from Savoy
by the lesser St. Bernard to the help of the Duke of
\andomo. Nearly a century later, in 1800. Buona-
parte, in his descent into the valley, found at Bard
the first real obstacle in the course of a successful
campaign. So strong was the Rock Bard, with its
fine display of buttress and its formidable walls, that it
was defendetl by only four hundred soldiers against
an army. ^Against its rough grandeur Buonaparte's
artillery thundered in vain. The only way to o\ er-
come the brave little garrison was to ascend Mount
Albano, overlooking the fort on the north. In two
days a road was cut, bridges built where needed, and
the precipices protected by bulwarks. I '^p this impro-
vised roadway, so hastily constructed, the infantry
climbed, not without loss, leaving the artillery and
transports behind. Then the attack upon the fort
from this vantage ground began with disastrous effect.
In the meantime Marmont iiad the narrow road to
the fort covered with straw, and with grass tied around
the wheels of the carts, he made a successful dash for
safety during the night through the dangerous bit of
highway dominated by the guns. After fourteen days

6 THE BAUD lA.MILV

of resistance the gallant little garrison was compelled
to surrender, but the defenders were alloMcd to quit
the fort with military honors. By the order of Buona-
parte the fortress was demolished.

The village of Bard is a long borough at the foot
of Rock Bard. The river Doria Baltea Hows on the
south side of the valley across the commime surround-
ing the fortress on the north side. ^V. stone l^ridge
spans the stream at the end of the village, leading to
the conmiunes of Hone. Pont Bozet and Champocher.
At the western end is a fairly fine palace belonging to
Count Federico di Bard.

The ancient Bard family of the \'al d' Aosta is
extinct in the \'alley. In 1744 (Tiacoma Fillippino
Xicola bought the ancient fued of Bard — Fort Bard —
for .S4.5.000, and was invested with the title of count.
The title and estates passed to Fillippo Agostino di
(rian (iuiseppe in 17!>7.

^OME say that the Sigiiori di Bard originated
^^ from the very ancient family of I^orraine. Tliis
descent is attributed to the sameness of name and the
resembhmce of the coats of arms of the two famihes.
Nevertlieless the name is not identical, for the I^ords
of Lorraine called themselves Bar. From this name
came Barriod and Bazeros. The place today is called
Bar le Due, a city of France, in the Department de
la Moise. Even were the identity of the name estab-
lished it would not prove much, since a family of
Bard existed and may still exist in A hernia, which it
is positively asserted is in no way coimected with the
Bards of the \'al d' Aosta. On the other hand the
similarity of the coats of arms of the two families is
very important. Described in the rather incompre-
hensible language of heraldry it is thus :

Of blue scattered with crossed stars and shafts of i^old
and oil this two barbs (barbi).

Aubert remarks that this "speaking" coat of arms
(in French this fish is called a bar) is not to be accepted.
It is, nevertheless, authentical and existing both in
Val d' Aosta and in the Duchy di Barrese. The like-
ness in the "speaking" figin-e of the two barbi (fishes),
which might have casually arisen from the likeness in
the name of the two localities, does not materially
alter the fact of the likeness in the two coats of arms,
since the only "speaking" figure they boast of is the

8 THE IJARl) FAMILY

fish, the rest of the coat of arms being similar, especi-
ally the color of the shield. Of "bar" or "barb,"
introduced in heraldy on the sound of the word, we
find many examples, in different arms, as the Bar fleur
of Normandy, whose coat of arms carries on a red
ground a "barbe" on demi-argent surmounted by a
gold fleur-de-lys, and again the Bartet. I sola di Fran-
cia, carries on Azure, three barbi d' argent, placed in
bar.

In the heart of the ancient duchy of Bourgogne
there is a small town, not far from Dijon, c-alled
Montbard. that was the native place of Bufibn. This
town boasts of a castle with a title attached to it. The
coat of arms of the counts of Montbard was:

On azure two l)arl)i (tisli) of i-old.

This is identical, it will be perceived, with that of
the Signori di Bard of the \"al d' ^Vosta, excepting the
scattered stars on the azure groiuid. Practically the
names of the two places, Bard and Montbard, are the
same. The syllable, niont, placed before the real name
means little. In the gently undulating country of
Bourgogne, a mountain would naturally have greater
importance in the estimation of an exile from the \'al
d' Aosta and his descendants than among the declix -
ities on which towered the Rock Bard. It is not dif-
ficult to concei\ e, imder the changed conditions, that
the added syllable to the name and the suppressed fig-
ure that belonged to the coat of arms of the ancient
house are to be traced, both in addition and suppres-
sion, to the hand of ITgone di Bard himself. Nothing
was more likelv than that the fierce Ugone, sensitive

A CHRONR'Li: OF THE BAUDS 9

concerning' his name and wrathful over his lost Sig-
noria V^aldostani, should retain the speaking symbol
upon his coat of arms while suppressing the figure,
when refoimding his family line with a modified name
in another land.

Members of the di Bard family were prone to
change the family name and coat-of-arms, as was
shown by others besides Ugone. ^^''hen Marco and
Aymone di Bard became Sarriod d' Introd and Sar-
riod de la Tom* respectively, the former chose a new
device, as follows :

Oil silver a hlui' hand on wliicli tlirec -oldrn lions
(lecoratud witli hliii'.

The arms of Sarriod de la Tour was naore elaborate :
On silver a blue band on which three golden lions
decorated with blue, and in the left hand corner a red
and black tower.

There is a tradition that in the sixteenth century
one of the members of the house of Montbard was
sent to Aosta to claim titles, and to prove the fact of
their springing from that family. "• This is only a tra-
dition," says Giuseppe Giacosa, "but 1 hold much of
truth is in tradition." He adds:

"Howbeit I wish to make it clear that I speak vaguely
out of curiosity and assert nothing. The question is not
sufficiently important to waste words on, much less time
for researches. The greatest merit the stA-y holds lie.s
in its obscurity, for, should everything once be made
clear, all interest would disappear. If there shall be any
left who take pleasure in heraldy, such a person might
Hnd it interesting to discover if traces of affiliation are

to be fouiul in the various coats of arms. It would 1k'
enough to find if, among the Counts of Montbard, tlie
names of Ugone, Ansehiio, Rainero and Rosetto (Ros-
situs) rei-ur, whicii would denote fairly positively the
origin of the family from the old house of Bard in tiie
Vai d- Aosta."

It lias also been asserted that the Hard iiaiiie is of
Saxon origin, an assertion that is sustained l)y the
fact that the name has been a common one in (Ger-
many for many generations. MacFirbis (•' Irish Ciene-
alogies,"' p. 41 'if) claims IJarde as Celtic, saying it was
Maghaidh Saxonta (magadh Irish, mocking, jecrino)-
meaning that it was only in jest that it was said to be
of Saxon origin. According to Dr. Ollart ("Irish
IVdigrecs." Fifth edition, ^'ol. I, p. ;U!)), Owen Mac-
an-Hliaird (bhard: Irish, a bar; Ileh. baar, was fam-
ous), of Monycassaii, was descended from Eocha, son
of Sodhan, (Arnis-Ar. two bars, gu. each charged
with as many martlets or). From Owen the surname,
Mac-an-Bhaird, was anglicised Mac Ward, modern-
ized \\'ard. Some of the descendants of Owen ren-
dered the name O'Bairdain, variously anglicised Haird.
Hard. Harde, Harden. Hardin, Harding, Harteii. Harton.
Herdan. Herdon. Purdon, X'erdon and W'ardin.

Whether the Bars of Lorraine were the progenitors
of the Hards of Aosta matters little, as the names of
Bard and Barde and e\ en Baird are found in various
parts of i'iurope from the tenth to the fourteenth
centuries. There was a Seigneur de Barde among the
followers of AN'illiam, the Conqueror, in lOOG. Henry
de Barde was a witness to a charter of lands granted
by King William the Lion in 117S. and Hugo de

A CHRONICLE OF THE BAUDS U

Baird was one of the subscribing witnesses to a safe-
conduct gi-anted by King Ridiard I to King A\^illiani
the I^ion in 1194. It will be observed by the last
statement tiiat there was a Hugo de Baird at the
English Court at \\'inchester three years after T'gone
di Bard made allegiance to the Court of Savoy for his
lands in tlie \'al d' Aosta, liesides tlie Seigneur de
Barde. Henry de Barde and Hugo de Baird. mention
was made of Magistratus de Barde in 1224. Itobert
Baird in 128;}. and Richard Baird in 1228 and 1240.

One is tempted to believe it possible that I gone
di Bard and his brother. Anselmo. emigrated to Scot-
land after turning their l)acks on the \'al d' ^Vosta. and
that Fergus de Bard and the other Bards, whose
names appear on ""The Ragman's Roll," were descend-
ants of these fierce brothers. It may be claimed,
unfortunately for this romantic hypothesis, that the
Chartularies of Kelso and Paisley and Dalrymple's
Collections point to a more prosaic origin for the
Bairds of Auchmedden. The doubt that divides the
romantic from the prosaic is a mere question of dates.
If the year llUl marks the dose instead of the begin-
ning of the turbulent career of I'gone di Bard, there
was ample time for him to find his way to Scotland,
to step between a ferocious boar and tiie king of
Scots, and to visit Ricliard I of England, at Win-
chester with AN'illiam the Lion in the same year that
the Crusader returned to the English throne, freed
from captivity and fresh from the confjuest of the
rebels in Aquitaine. Indeed, it is not impossible that
Ugone di Bard, soldier of fortune that he must have
become, fought \nider the banner of Richard of the

12 THE BARD FAMILY

Lion Heart at Freteval and in overconiiiifir the revolt
of his brother John, the histof tlie Angevine kings of
Enghmd. In either case Ugone di Bard might have
been at the EngHsli Court in 1194. to sign the name
of Hugo de Baird to the safe-conduct granted by
Ricliard of the Lion Heart to WiUiam the Lion.

\N"hether Hugo de Baird came to Scothuid with
King Wilham the Lion, from the Court of Richard L
at ^^"inchester, in 1 1 !U, is a question that has only a
speculative value, but before the close of the thirteenth
century the family was a numerous one on the Scot-
tisli lowlands, from ^^'igton to Stirling, and as far into
the Highlands as Aberdeen and Banff. In Lanark-
shire there was tlie noteworthy stock concerning
which Thomas the Rhymer predicted that there shall
be an eagle in the craig wliile there is a Baird in Auch-
medden. At Banff' were the transplanted Bards from
Languedoc and Savoy. It was apparently to a Baird
that AN^illiani the Lion assigned the boar passant for
his coat of arms, but the Bards were even more acti\e
in the early centuries of Scottish history. \Mien Ber-
wick fell, and Edinbiu-gh, Stirling and Perth opened
their gates to the English king, tlie Bards as well as
the Bruce swore fealty to Edward I. At Baimock-
burn and after, the Bards were hand in hand with
Bruce in the Scottish war for independence. One of
them, Robert Bard, had the misfortune to be captiu'ed
by the English, and he was held a prisoner in Notting-
ham Castle, for his removal from which to the castle
of Summerton an order was issued in January, 1317.
His fate may be surmised from the fact that in July
following, Elizabeth, "late the wife of Robert, son of

A CHRONICLE OF THE BARDS 13

Ralph," was endeavoring to have Ednumd Bard and
John de Gemelyng put in her phice to seek and receive
her dower in Chancery at ^Vindsor, she agreeing not
to marry without the king's Hcense. Robert de Bard,
hke many of the Scotch barons of that time, had
estates in Enghmd — lands in Hertford that were for-
feited, and at Bullerwith, in Yorkshire. Out of the
latter, then held by William Bard, son of Robert, a
tenth of a knight's fee was assigned to the widow in
dower. This ^^^illiam, son of Robert, was probably
the AN'illiam Bard who was routed and taken prisoner
with Sir AVilliam Douglas, in 1333, in a skirmish with
Sir Anthony I^acy on the English border.

King Alexander II, May 2(i, 1240. This grant of
the lands of Little Kyp and Long Kyp afterward
belonged to Saint Bride's chapel, in the parish of
Strathavon. Lanarkshire, and they were known as the
eiiapel lands. After the Reformation these lands
became the property of the Hamilton family. That
Richard Baird remained in the j)arish of Strathavon is
shown l)y the fact that in 1240 he obtained tlie grant
of a cliarter from Robert, son of ^^'alde\lIs de Biggar,
upon the lands of Meikle and Little Kyp. in the

A CHRONICLE OF THE BARUS 15

Jordan IJaird, presumably a son of Fergus de Bard,
was a constant companion of tlie bra\e Sir William
^^'allace in all his warlike exploits, 12!)7 l.'i0.5. From
him. })r()l)ahly, came Sir \\'illiam Haird, of E\andale.
(I)umfrieshire) who accompanied the Earl of Douglas
at the battle of Poictiers, September 19, 13.5(5. In
April, 1708. Sir William Johnston, of Hilton, told
William Baird, the historian of the family, that some
years l)efore he had seen a lineal genealogy from
Jordan liaird to Sir James liaird, of Auchmedden,
who ser\ed in America and who was a great-great
grandson of George Baird, of Auchmedden, County
Aberdeen, Scotland, wiio was living in 1.588. He
was chief of the clan. From him came the Bairds of
Auchmedden and Saughton Hall. The Bairds of
Auchmedden are a family of great antiquity. Among
the traditions relating to the family is one to the effect
that while William the Lion was hunting in one of
the southwestern counties he was alarmed by the
a})proach of a wild boar. The king had strayed away
from his attendants and was alone. He called for
assistance and was answered by a gentleman named
Baird, who had the good fortune to slay the object of
the monarch's alarm. For tliis service King William
conferred large tracts of land upon his deli\erer, and
assigned for his coat of arms a boar passant, with the
motto: Dominus fecit. The arms are to be seen on
an ancient monument of the Bairds of Auchmedden,
in the clun-chyard of Banff. It is probable that the
person thus distinguished was Hugo de Baird, who
was at the English Court with King William the
Lion in 119-t.

16 THE HARD FAMILY

James Baird. son of Cieorge Baird, of Auchnied-
den, head of the chin in 1588. was a coniniissary of
the Ecclesiastical Court of ScotLind in the time of
Cliarles I. His son and heir, Sir John Baird. was a
lord of session under the title of Lord Xewbyth. Lord
Xewbyth's only son, AVilliam Baird, was created a
baronet of No\'a Scotia in 1695-96. Sir ^Villiam's
only son. Sir John Baird, died without issue in 1746.
The title expired with him. He entailed his estates
upon his cousin. William Baird. son of ^Villiam Baird.
of the Saughton Hall family.

Sir Robert Baird, the ancestor of the Bairds of
Saughton Hall, in Mid-Lothiam, was a younger
brother of Sir John Baird, Lord Xewbyth. His elder
son, Sir James Baird. who died in 1740, was created a
baronet of Nova Scotia, February 28, 1695 96. He
married Elizabeth ((iibson) Cxray, daughter of Sir
Alexander Gibson, of Pentland, and widow of
Thomas Gray, Esq. He was succeeded by his son.
Sir Robert Baird. \\\n) sur\i\'ed his father only one
year. His wife was .Janet Baikie, of Tankerness,
Orkney. His successor was his elder son, James, an
officer in the Royal Xavy, who served in America.
He died unmarried, and was succeeded in the baro-
netcy by his brother. \>'illiam. Sir ^Villiam Baird
married Frances (Tardiner, daughter of the celebrated
Colonel James Gardiner. He died in 1770, and was
succeeded by his son. Sir James Ciardiner Baird, who
was a lieutenant-colonel in the British army, and
served in America during the Revolutionary struggle.
This was the Sir James Baird, who, with his company
of light infantry, attacked a party of Americans in a

A CHRONICLE OF THE BAUDS 17

barn near Hackensack, X. J., in September, 1778,
with such ruthless impetuosity that nine out of six-
teen men were instantly bayonetted. He was also
conspicuous in the action near the junction of Briar
creek with the Savannah river in March, 1779, in
which a few Continentals and a little army of North
Carolina militia, under Cieneral Ashe, were siu'prised
and slaughtered. Upon his return to Scotland, in
1781, he was married to Henrietta Johnston, daughter
of Wynne Johnston, of Hiltown. He died in 1830,
and was succeeded in the baronetcy by his grandson.
Sir James Gardiner liaird, son of his deceased son,
William Baird.

William Baird, who succeeded to the estates of his
cousin. Sir John Baird, of Xewbyth, was a son of
William Baird, a merchant and one of the baillies of
Edinburgh, and a grandson of Sir Robert Baird. of
Saughton Hall. He was married to ^Vlicia .Johnston,
of Hiltown, County Berwick. His eldest sou and heir
was Robert Baird, but the most distinguished of his
children was General Sir David Baird, who was colonel
of the 24th Foot, and rose to the rank of a general in
the British army. At Seringapatam he headed the
storming party and led them on to victory. He was
the connnander-in-chief at the capture of the Cape of
Good Hope, and his achievements in Egypt procured
him the order of the Bath from his own sovereign,
and the insignia of the Crescent from the Sultan. He
was wounded in the shoulder at the bombardment of
Copenhagen, and lost an arm at Corunna, soon after
the fall of the gallant Sir John Moore. General Baird
was created a baronet April 13, 1809, with remainder.

TT IS said in the "Genealogical Collections Con-
'- cerning the Sir Name of Baird," that tiiree sons of
Gilbert Baird, of Auehniedden, and Lillias. his wife,
who was the only child and heiress of \\'alter Baird,
of Ordinhwas, went to Ireland as adventurers in the
beginning of the reign of King James I. The author
of the Auehniedden genealogy further says: "As to
the posterity of (Gilberts three sons that went to
Ireland to push their fortunes, se\eral inquiries have
been made in that country, but no account to be
depended on is yet received." If this was true in the
life time of William Baird. Esq.. (1701 -1750), tiie last
of the Bairds of Auehniedden. it might be assumed
that it is impossible now. It is certain that there arc
no available traditions eitiicr in Scotland or Ireland
that would be an aid in the search.

According to James Baird, a cai-pcntcr. li\ ing at
Raphoe, County Donegal, in 1902. all the Bairds in
Ireland spring from three brothers — John, ^^'illianl
and David Baird. — who came from Killmarnock.
Ayrshire, at or about the time of tiie Plantation of
Ulster. This tradition is entitled to as much weight
as that of William Baird. of Auehniedden. If it is
well founded the Bairds in the North of Ireland are
probably derived from the Bairds of Kilhenzie. who
possessed the castle of Maybole in the sixteenth
century.

The early history of the parish of Maybole is

(^0)

A CHROMCI.E OF THE BARDS 21

involved in considerable obscurity, but the town was
created a burgh of barony November 14, 1516, in a
grant to Gin)ert, Earl of Cassilis, the patron, and to
the provost and prebendaries of the Collegiate Churcii
of JMaybole, to which belonged the lands whereon the
town is situated. In October, 1039, an act ordaining
that the liead courts of Carrick should be held at
Maybole was passed by the Lords of the Articles.

"Tliis toiuie of JNlaboU," says Abercrunmiie,
"stands upon an ascending groinid, from east to west.
and lyes open to the south. It hath one principall
street, with houses upon both sydes, built of freestone ;
and it is beautifyed with the situation of two castles,
one at each end of this street. That on the east
belongs to the Earle of Cassilis; beyond which, east-
ward, stands a great new building, which be his
granaries. On the west end is a castle, which belonged
to the Laird of Blairquhan, which is now the tolbuitli.
and is adorned with a pyremide and a row of ballesters
round it, raised from the top of the stair-case, into
whicli they have mounted a fyne clock. There by four
lanes which passe from the principall street; one is
called the Black-\^enall, which is steep, declining to
southeast, and leads to a lower street, which is far the
larger than the high chiefe street, and it runs from the
Kirkland to the Welltrees; in which there have been
many pretty buildings, belonging to the severall
gentry of the countrey, who were wont to resort
thither in winter, and divert themselves in converse
together at their owne houses. It was once the prin-
cipall street of the toune ; but many of these houses
of the gentry have been decayed and ruined, it has

22 THE BARD FAMILY

lost much of its ancient beautie. .lust opposite to this
\enall, there is another tliat leads northwest from
the chief street to the green which is a pleasant
plott of ground, enclosed round with an earthern
wall, wherein they were wont to play at foot l)all.
but now at the GowfFe and byasse-bowls. ^Vt the
east end of the principall street are other two lanes,
the one called Foull ^'enall. carryes northward ; the
other farder east, upon the chiefe street, passes to the
southeast, and is called tlie Kirk-\'enall, and is the
great resort of the people from the toune to the
church. The houses of this toune, on both sydes of
the street, have their se\ eral gardens belonging to
them ; and in the lower street there be some pretty
orchards, that yield store of good fruit."

The description thus gi\'en by Abercrummie two
luuidred years ago, presents a minute picture of May-
bole even at the present time. The town has no doubt
grown to some extent during so long a period, but
not in proportion to many other places in the county
comparatively of modern date. On the east the town
is no longer bounded by the castle, and the Earl of
Cassilis' granaries. The castle, no doubt, occupies its
original site, but a superior range of buildings, called
the New Yards, extends the line of houses very con-
siderably in that quarter. On the west, AVhitehall.
and a number of recent buildings, have produced a
similar extension; while upon the north and south
the sides of the town have been swelled by numerous
houses, shops and villas. The introduction of cotton-
weaving into Maybole in the eigliteenth century
occasioned a vast increase of tiie population, by the

A CHRONICLE OF THE BARUS ^3

rapid iiiHux of Irish families; and it may be said
to have wholly lost that aristocratic character, the
decline of which Abercrinnmie deplores even in his
time.

Kilhenzie Castle was e\ en within recent years the
most entire of all the baronial ruins in the parish of
Maybole. The first of the Hairds of Kilhenzie of whom
anything is known was (Gilbert Barde, who obtained
a charter for land in Kilhenzie, Kilkerane and Maker-
tinstoun, from King James I\', January 26, 1.50(5. He
appears to have been the Laird of Kilhenzie who was
slain in a feud fight by Schaw. of Keirs, and others, in
1508. He was succeeded by his son. John Barde, of
Kilhenzie, who had a charter of the lands of Drum-
bane, etc., from King James \", December 17, 1526.
His wife was Margaret Crawford. He had two sons,
Robert Barde, his heir, and Gilbert Barde. Gilbert
Barde, the younger son, who died July 25, 1577,
obtained a Crown charter of the lands of Glencapok,
June 14, 15-11. He married Christine Lindsay and
had two sons, .lohn and \A^illiam.

Robert Barde, son and heir of ".Johanni Barde de
KiUjuhenzie, et Margaretae Craufurde, ejus sponsae,"
married Elizabeth Kennedy. He had a son, John
Barde, who died in April, 1597. He had a Crown
Charter of confirmation of the lands of Glengappok,
Kilquhynnzcetc, from Queen Mary, October 2, 1559.
He was twice married. The name of his first wife has
not been ascertained. His second wife was Kathai'ine
Kennedy, a sister of the I^aird of Bargany, by whom
he had no children. By his first marriage he had two
sons, Oliver Barde, his heir, and John Barde, who was

24 THE BARD FAMILY

concerned with Hugh Kennedy, of Blaiiquhan, in the
slaughter of the Provost of Wigton, in 1611.

OHver Barde. son of John Barde. of Kilhenzie. who
died between 1(516 and 1619. had a charter of confir-
mation of the lands of Glencapok. Kilquhynnze, etc..
October 2]. 1585. He appears in the Criminal Trials
as one of the supporters of the Earl of Cassilis, in the
Carrick feuds, in 1611. Indeed, he was the cause of
one of the bitterest of these family feuds. His father
had left his second wife "sumwittuell." which the
young Laird of Kilhenzie took " fra hir perforce. " She
complained of this injustice to her brother, the Laird
of Bargany. who sent his son and ten or twelve horse
and "brak the zett, and tuik alse meikill wituell with
thame, as was reft fra hir and hir seruand." As Barde
was a dependent of the Earl of Cassilis, "my I^ord
thocht the samin done to him," and being in Maybole
at a funeral, he resolved to proceed to Bargany that
night, and take as much victual out of it ; he having
as he said, "brocht hame with him. out of Ittally.
poutthard. quhilk wald blaw uj) tlie zett ! " He was.
however, dissuaded from the enterprise, as Bargany's
people would in all probability be on the alert, and
began to de\ise "'with sum of his freindis how to ruitt
out this Hous of Bargany out of memory." He first
contemplated seciu'ing admission into the place of
"Arstensar" through the treachery of a servant, and
after slaying all within, "to blaw up the hous in the
air." The tutor. Sir Thomas Kennedy, of Culzean,
did not relish such an open, wholesale mode of going
to work; for, said he, "the auld laird and the young
lady hes bene honorabill houshaldris all their dayis,

A CHRONICI-E OF THE BARDS 25

and they wald be grittly lanientit be all men; and
the young laird had now niarevitt his wyfF out of the
kingis hous, and hir deathe wold be thocht mekill off
be the king and queine; and also the deid wold be
thocht werry crewall, to put sa many innocent saullis
to deathe!" It was accordingly proposed to abduct
the young Laird of Bargany and his l)rother, so that
the old laird would die of sorrow because he would
ha\-e "nane to succeed to him but Benand, quha is ana
deboishit man." The feud resulted in much violence,
but in the end the king interposed and a truce was
patched up. Oliver Barde married and had a son,
Gilbert Bard, who is mentioned as one of the assize
on a criminal trial in 1619.

After the death of Oliver Barde, Kilhenzie was
acquired by Alexander Kennedy, of Craigoch.

Gilbert Barde, son of Oliver, was the last Baird of
Kilhenzie. The name is still prevalent in JNIaybole
and vicinity, — the remains of the Carrick sept of the
Bardes. It is a form of that of Bard. Even to this
day Kilhenzie Castle is the most entire of baronial
ruins in the parish of JNIaybole ; it is delightfully situ-
ated on a gentle, rising ground, washed by a little
rivulet to the south of Maybole. It was noted for its
good buildings, gardens and orchards. Some geneal-
ogists trace the Bairds of Kilhenzie to the Bards of
North Kelsey, in Lincolnshire, England, but it is
likely that they were of the same stock as the Bairds
of Auchmedden. Indeed, the inference seems almost
irresistible that the Bairds of Scotland and Ireland
are all descended from Hugo de Barde. or Baird, the
witness of the safe-conduct of King William, the Lion.

'in HE two chief Buird families of Scotland — those
-*- of Auchmedden and Kilhenzie — beyond doubt
had a numerous progeny of whom oin* knowledge is
only fragmentary. Through the indices of the Scot-
tish Public Records tlie name is sprinkled with great
profusion. At Aberdeen. July .'JO. 1548. Alexander
Barde and Patrick Bisset are described in the law
r^atin of the period as "serjandos et officiarios in ea
causa specialiter constitutos." The name of Joh. Bard,
with others of Symonton, is found among the names
of Assize. April 30. 15.50. In a charter of confirma-
tion to "William, Lord Livingston et Agneto Flem-
yng. his spouse." October 1. 1553, are the names of
Tho. Bard, WW Bard, Da\ id Bard. .Tonet Bard and
\N'edo Bard. Alexander Barde. as a witness in a
deed of confirmation at Kinlos, February 20, 1575, is
described as "\icario de Alter." A charge was made
in April, 1594, against Gilbert Baird, of Auchmed-
den. Cieorge, his brother, Patrick Baird, Johnne Baird.
James Baird and Alexander Baird, for a systematic
course of acts of Appression. In the index to the
Register of Privy Coimcil of Scotland. 1592 99, are
the names of George Baird, l)urgess of Banff"; Cieorge
Baird. in Swanford: Patrick Baird. writer in Ordin-
huiff": \N'alter Baird. in Banff; Walter Baird. in
Ordinhaus. and Thomas Baird, of the Shaws. In
another document of the same period these names are
still further illuminated. This is the registration by

A CHRONICLE OF THE BARDS 27

Mr. Robert Lermont as procurator, January 22,
1598-99, of the bond of (Gilbert Baird, of Auchmed-
den, for A\^alter Baird, of Ordenhuiffis, and Alexander
Anderson, servant to Alex. Barclay, burgess. Wit-
ness, Cieorge Baird, in Swanifuord, Patrick Baird,
writer hereof, servant to tlie said ^^'alter. At Edin-
burgh, October 20, 1.599, Robert Bard and others
were bound not to harm Andrew Arbuthnot. and
.luly 4, IGOO, Johnne Baird, in Lochsyde, and Hew
Baird, his brother, were bound not to harm Johnne
\\^ilsoun. In KiOl, John Ciordon, second son of the
Earl of Geicght, and his friends, including George
Baird, came to town of TurrefF and " opprest the haill
toun." In 1604 there was a Thomas Baird in Edin-
burgh. It was not until 1007 that a Baird was found
among the debtors. In that year a decess issued
against \Villiani Baird, on complaint of Alexander
Murray, of Halherot-kii"k for debt.

At the beginning of the seventeenth centiuy and
in the last decade of the sixteenth we catch occasional
glimpses of the Bairds of Ayrshire in the Public
Records, some of which add to our knowledge of the
passing of the Bairds of Kilhenzie. In 1000 we find
the following characteristic entry.

Nearly a century later, in 1692, i\rchibald Baird,
an Irish refugee, was imprisoned at Paisley for house-
breaking. The sheriff thought the probation "scrimp"
(scanty) and was con\ inced that extreme po\"crty had
been a great temptation to him to commit the crime.
Seeing, liowever, that he was a proper young man for
military service and willing to go oxer to Flanders to
fight against the French, the sheriff" delayed pronounc-
ing sentence upon him. The council, without any
ceremony, ordered that Baird should be transported
to Flanders as a soldier. At that time it was custo-
mary for prisoners confined in the Scottish jails to
purchase their liberty by enlistment. Voung Baird
evidently thought it was preferable to be shot in the
IjOw Countries than to be hanged in the I^owlands.

Besides the Bards of ^Vuchmedden and the Bardes
of Kilhenzie. there are many early Bards, Bardes and
Bairds that the data gathered for this compihition
leaves implaced. Among these was one Robert Baird
or Bard, who is mentioned in the Chartulary of Pais-
ley, in 1233, of whom notiiing definite is known.
There is also extant a charter granted by King Rob-
ert Bruce to Robert Baird in 1310, upon the barony
of Cambusnethan. This was, perhaps, the Robert
Bard whose name was on "The Ragman's Itoll," and
who was executed by King Edward II. Mr. Nisbet

A CHRONICLE OF THE BARDS 29

says that the estate went to Sir Alexander Stuart,
afterwards of Darnley who niain-ied the heiress, Jean
Baird. about 18G0, and that in 1390 he gave it to Sir
Thomas Sonier\'ille, of Carnwath, who married his
dauohter. Sir Thomas Somerville was the ancestor of
Lord Somerville. In Dalrymple's Collections it is
said that Baird of Carnwath, in Clydesdale. County
of Lanark, with other three or four gentlemen of that
name, being convicted of a conspiracy against Robert
Bruce, in a Parliament held at Perth, were forfeited
and put to death, and the lands of Carnwath given to
Sir xVlexander Stuart of Darnley by that Prince.

The Exchequer Rolls show that in 1. '393 -95 one
\\illiam Bard paid a large sum of money for a debt
of the King for furnishing supplied at Perth. At the
same period Richard Bard, clerk of Liverance, whose
name in Latin is given as Ricardo de Bard, attests to
the grinding of wheat and malt by baillies of Perth,
and also to the payment of money for hire at the
King's larder at Perth. In 1394 he received money
to pay the King's officers and was paid for services to
the King and for expenses at Scone and I'erth at the
Exchequer and Council. In 1380 Sir Alexander de
Bard received ])aynients of money upon the order of
the Earl of Stratiiern. The name of Barde or Baird
also appears in connection with the charters of the
Abbey of Crosraguel. Gilbert Baird. of Kilhenzie,
was a witness to a gift by Quinton, the abbot, to the
Earl of Cassilis, INIay 19, 1548. The name of Jacobo
Bard is foiuid in a precept by Colin, abbot of Crosra-
guel. relating to the lands of Alticapeand. August 29,
1490. In 1573. Mathow Baird was sheriff' of Ayr.

30 THE BARD FAMILY

Among tlie later descendants of tlie ancient family
of Baird or Bard we have fragmentary genealogies of
the Bairds of Lochwood. of Stichill and Strichen. of
Closeburn, and of Cowdam.

Alexander Baird of Lochwood. in Ijanarkshire, by
his wife, Jane ^Nfotfat. had tliree sons:

I. John Baird (died in 1870) of Urie and Loch-
wood. married Margaret Findlay. daughter of John
Findlay. of Springhill. Lanark; they had issue:

1. Alexaiuk-r (horn in 1849) of Fiie luul Rickarton.
Kincardineshire-, was echieated at Harrow. He is J. P.
and D. L. for the eounty of Kincardine, and Lord of
the barony of Urie. He married in 1873, Annette
Maria Palk, daughter of Sir Lawrence Palk, Bart.; they
have issue: John Lawrence, b. in 1874.

2. John (born in 1852), of Lochwood, Lanarkshire,
and Knovdart, Inverness-shire, was educated at Harrow
and Christ College, Oxford. He inherited Knoydart
from his uncle, James Baird of Cambusdoon, in 1876.
He is J. P. for the county of Inverness. Mr. Baird mar-
ried in 1878, Constance Emilia Harford, daughter of
John Battersbv Harford, Blaise Castle, (iloucester-
shire, England ; they liad issue : .lames Alexander, h. in

onies of Elie, Fifeshire, K'c. He inherited the fine estate
of his uncle, James Baird of Cambusdoon.

2. Jane, married in 18fj2, Captain James George
Baird-Hay, of Belton.

A CHRONICLE OF THE BARDS ;}1

III. James Baird (born in ]80.'3 died in 1876),
was J. P. of Cambusdoon and Auchmedden, and
JNI. P. for Falkirk. In 1852 he bought a fine property
composed chiefly of the hinds of Greenfield, originally
purchased from tlie town of Ayr by Elias Cathcart,
ancestor of Lord Alloway. Later he acquired the
lands of Middle ^Vuchindraine from Mr. Cathcart.
He built a neat (xothic church on the opposite side of
the road from old Kirl ^Mloway. Mr. Baird married
(1), in 1852, Charlotte Lockhart, daughter of Robert
Lockhart: (2). in 1859, Isabella Agnew Hay, daughter
of Rear-Admiral .James Hay. He had no issue.

BAIRDS OF .STICHILL AND STRICHEX

George Baird (died in 1870), of Stichill and
Strichen. ^Ujerdeenshire. married Cecilia Hatton,
daughter of Captain \'illiers Francis Hatton ; they
had issue :

1. George Alexanilor, born in 1861.

BAIRD OF CLOSEBURN

Douglas Baird (died in 1854), of Closeburn, Dum-
frieshire, married Charlotte /Vcton, daughter of Henry
^Vcton ; they had issue, twin daughters:

1. Jane Isabella, married in 1869, Frederick Ernest
\'illiers.

2. Cbarlotte Marion, married in 1869, Niseount Cole.

BAIRDS OF COWDAM

\Villiam Baird, previous to 1700, owned the small
property of Cowdam or Coodam, in the parish of
Symington, Ayrshire. The original grantee of the

32 THE BARD FAMILY j

lands of the town of Synion, Symonstoun. was i

Symon Locard, in 1161. He also owned a manor of I

the same name in Lanarkshire, ^^"illiam Baird of j

Cowdam, had sasine of several houses in Kilmarnock. j

July 7, 1704. and Margaret Aird, his wife, had sasine j

in liferent of an annuity of 20 lb. furth of the lands i

of Barwhillan, August 30. 1706. and of an annuity of |

/I'iO Scots, furth of the lands of Prestwick-Sliaws. !

November 28. 1707. Besides. ^Villiam Baird and his |

wife Margaret had sasine in liferent of the two merk I

land of Helentown Mains. March 25. 170'.). ^^'illiam j

and Margaret Baird had issue : !

1. Adam, (living in 1734), had fie in the two iiicik
land of Helentoun Mains, and he obtained sasine of
houses and yards in Kilmarnock, as eldest son of Wil-
liam Baird, of Cowdam, deceased, February 4, 1710;
he also had sasine of the lands of Over and Nether
Cowdam, August 19, 171^.

2. William, had the annuity of the lands of Barwhil-
lan, etc., in fee.

3. John, had the annuity of the lands of Fiestwick-
Shaws, in tie.

4. Helen, had sasine in liferent of certain sums furth
of the lands of Crossflatt, May 24, 1700.

^T^HE names Burde and Bard, later Baird and
-■- Beard, though transplanted to England and
Scotland in tlie Middle xVges, like that of many of the
Bard families in America, are of Huguenot, Cierman,
and perhaps even Italian origin. Indeed, it was from
the Society of the Bardi of Florence, that King-
Edward II borrowed the money required for carrying
on the Scotch war. For the reimbursement of these
loans DofFus de Bard, in 131G, obtained an order to
Collectors of custom of wool, hides and wool pelts in
Port of London to pay them'*' the King's merchants "
1600 pounds from the increment or 10 shillings on
each sack of wool, 10 shillings on each last of
hides and 10 shillings on every 300 wool fells
exposed by alien merchants and of the increment of
half a mark on each sack of wool, half a mark on
each last of hide and one-half mark on every
300 wool fells exported by native merchants as the
King owes the said merchants great sums of money.
This DofFus is frequently mentioned; even the
Abbot of Grymmesby owed iiim money. In 1330. 4
Edward III, there is acknowledgment of the King's
indebtedness to Bartholomew de Barde and other
merchants of the Society of the Bardi of various
loans, with provision for repayment, including the
King's moiety of the first year's collection of a four-
yearly tenth imposed by the Pope on the Clergy of
England, Ireland and ^\"ales. The same year at the

34 THE BAIU) FAMILY

King's request liarde and liis associates loaned money
to Roger de Morton Mari, earl of March, in aid of
the marriage of his daughter with the eldest son of
Thomas, Earl of Norfolk and JNIai'shall of England,
with promise to pay the same a fortnight after Easter.
In the period covered by Kymer's " Foedera" the
names of Barde and IJaird are conmion in the coiu't
records. In 1.'317, Ednumd Haird. among others, was
pardoned by King Edward 1 1 for killing Pierce
Gaveston. This Gaveston was a foreigner, sprung
from a family of Guienne, who was young Edwards
friend and companion during his father's reign, but
had been banished for his share in intrigues that
divided Edward from his son. (iaveston was recalled
upon the new Kings ascension, created Earl of Corn-
wall, and placed at the head of administration, (iay,
genial and thriftless, he had the wit, audacity and
recklessness of the (Taul. He goaded the baronage
with taunts and defiances. In his reckless speech the
Earl of Lancaster was "the ^Vctor," Pembroke, "the
Jew," and NN'^arwick, "the Black Dog." The taunts
and defiance of the bold favorite of a weak king-
hurled against a strong baronage could not last, and
after a few months of power (^avesttin was again
banished, only to be recalled by the King and be-
headed on Blacklow Hill by a party under the
"Black Dog ■ of \Varwick, of which Baird was one.
This Ednumd liaird or Bard, it may be assumed, was
the ancestor of the Bards of North Kelsey, and from
his attitude toward Elizabeth Bard, widow of Robert,
he was probably of the same stock as the Bards of
Banff and the Bairds of Auchmedden.

A CHROxNICLE OF THE HARDS :35

Another Bard, who was a man of some import-
ance during the reign of Edward II, was Nichohis
Barde, bailiff of Sandwich in 1315. He married Joan,
the coheiress of Margaret, the wife of Robert de
Methele. Other Enghsh Bards continued to take
part in affairs both at home and abroad. In 1318,
Simon Baird was given a connnission to levy men for
the war against Scotland. Among the Seneschals
recognized by King Richard II in his French prov-
inces in 1388 were the Sieur de la Barde and his lieu-
tenants for the March of ^Vgenoys and Guertyn.
Apart from the possible progeny of Le Seigneur de
Barde, who accompanied the Conqueror into Eng-
land, and of \A^alter de Barde, of the county of
Devon, who was one of the \ olunteers in the expedi-
tion of Thomas of I^ancaster to Ireland in 1403, the
English province of Bourdeaux, as it then was, was
full of Bardes, who acknowledged allegiance to tlie
Plantagenet Kings of England. In 1408, I^eonard
Baird, bastard son of Sir Anthony de Baird. both liv-
ing in Bourdeaux, was granted letters of legitimaza-
tion by King Henry IV, under the Great Seal at
Westminister. Bos de la Barde, Esquire, had a grant
of dwelling houses in the city of Bourdeaux from
Henry W, the sale of which to John I)u[)ont was
confirmed by Thomas Duke of Clarence, in 1412.
Robert Barde was named in a connnission of arroy
for Estrythyngem, a part of the county of York, by
King Henry ^'I, March 11, 1427. Numerous as were
the French Bardes with English affiliations, a glance
at the genealogy of the Bards of I^incolnshire will
show, however, that their progenitor, if not Saxon,

Clarenceux derives the pedigree from Edmoud Bard,
of Barfortli.

Adam Bard, great-great-grandson of Edmond. as
shown by the accompanying pedigree, married the
daughter and heiress of Dampeur, of North Kelsey.
I^incohishire, and acquired the Dampeur estate in
right of his wife, which was afterward for many cen-
turies the principal seat of the Bards of North Kel-
sey. From Adam Bard the direct line of the Bards
of Nortli Kelsey was continued luibroken and with-
out any off-shoots, so far as is known, through five
generations to Thomas Bard, who was married to
Eleanor Hansard, daughter of Sir Richard Hansard,
of Kelsey, Knt. Thomas Bard, by his wife Eleanor
Hansard, had three sons, Ralph, his heir, l{obert, and
Thomas, and a daughter Alice, who was married to
John Trowsdalc.

Ralph Bard, son and heir of Thomas Bard and
Eleanor Hansard, his wife, was married to Ellen

Hem-y Bard, a younger son of the Jlev. (ieorge
Bard, of Staines, and Susan Dudley, his wife, was
born about l(i07, and died in KiGO. He was a fel-
low and D. C. Ij. of King's College, Cambridge.
During the civil commotions of the reign of Charles
I, he was a colonel in the royal army. Colonel Bard
was knighted by his royal master, November 22,
1643 ; created a baronet, October 6, 1(>44 : and made
Baron Bard, of Drombey, and \'iscount Bellamont
in the peerage of Ireland, July 8, 1646. His lord-
ship, proceeding on an embassy from Charles H,
then in exile, to the court of Persia, was ov ertaken
by a whirlwind in that country and choked by the
sand; the melancholy event occin-red in the year
1660, when all his honours, including the baronetcy,
expired. Lord Bellamont was married in 1645, to
Anne Gardyner, daughter of Sir AVilliam (iardyner,
Knt., of Peckham, Surrey. She died in St. Martin's
in the Fields, in I^ondon. in 1()68. Lord Bellamont
had one son, Charles Rupert Bard, who was born
January 1, 1(!47 48, and died in 1()65, and was the
second Viscount Bellamont. He was slain on the
Island of St. Christopher. Leaving no issue, the
peerage expired with him. Besides his heir, the first
Viscount Bellamont was survived by three daughters,
Anne, Frances and Persiana Bard. By some gene-
alogists Anne Bard, of whom nothing definite is
known, has been confounded with her sister Frances.
Frances Bard was pri\ately married, it is alleged, to

A CI^RIOUS example of composite genealogy
-^-^ was exhibited a few years ago by a New York
pretender to extraordinary familiarity with the par-
ish registers of Great Britain and Ireland, wlio pieced
together selected names and dates from tliree of the
foregoing families. — the Bairds of Auchmedden. the
Bai'des of Kilhenzie and the Bards of Xortli Kelsey,
— creating a fictitious pedigree that had all the marks
of historical interest and accuracy. Beginning with
the seven generations of the descendants of Edmond
Bard, of Barforth, as a foundation, he inserted an
alleged Gilbert Bard into the Family Tree ol" the
Bards of North Kelsey, Lincolnshire, England, and at
the chronological moment transplanted him to Scot-
land to become the putative founder of tlie Bardes
of Kilhenzie, Maybole, /Vyrshire. After this deft
union of the two families, wliich required little more
than a stroke of liis pen, it w^as easy going for this
accomplished genealogist until he came to the third
and last Gilbert Barde of that ilk. Coming to the
end of that line, he accepted a hint from the geneal-
ogist of the Bairds of Auchmedden, and at the
chronological moment sent the children of the last
of the Bardes of Kilhenzie to Ireland to establish a
family for which he gives authorities that are faulty
and in many cases do not exist at all. A brief sum-
mary of the vital part of this "History," so called,
cannot fail to prove interesting by showing the bold

forgeries to wliich some genealogists resort in sup-
plying their customers with what they sell as
authentic information.

and sister Lillias, .settled near Tara, Co. Meath, a few
years previous to his marriage. He is mentioned in
1683, in "Inquisitiones ad Capellum Scotiae" as late
of Kilhenzie, son of Gilbert Bard and Lillias, his wife.

A CHRONICLE OF THE BARDS io

Mem. — Olivia Bard, a widow, executed a deed in 1738,
in which she gave all her Cattell and Chattels to her
youngest son, Archibald; "My eldest son, Barnard,
now in Pennsylvania." (P. C. M. 43, 82).

IV. Bernard Bard (born near Tara, Co. Meatli, Ireland,
June 3, 1708), putative son of Archibald Bard and
Olivia Parker, his wife, emigrated to Pennsylvania in
1737, settling on Carroll's tract, York, now Adams Co.,
where he built a mill. He married in Ireland, March 6,
1734, Martha McDowell, daughter of James McDowell,
who emigrated to Pennsylvania with his daughter Jane
and son James, in 1737 (McDowell Coll. B. 23, and
Rec. of Presbytery). Bernard Bard and Martha Mc-
Dowell, his wife, had issue:

1. Richard (born Jan. 5, 1735), came over with his
father in 1737, aged 2, his mother having died in
childbirth, March 19, 1735.

V. Archibald Bard (born near Tara, Co. Meath, Ire-
land, March 14, 1709), putative son of Archibald
Bard and Olivia Parker, married Sarah McCabe; they
had issue.

1. Bernard, born March 15, 1735; died voung.

2. Richard, Ijorn Feb. 8, 1736.

The interest attachino' to this fictitious genealogy
is not in its fraudulent character so much as in the
sources from which its names were drawn. Gilbert,
with which it begins, was a name frequently used in
the ancient sept of the Bardes of INIaybole. It was
introduced because it represented the first and last of
the Bardes of Kilhenzie. Only an assimiption was
necessary to link it to the earlier generations of the
Bards of North Kelsey. The last mention of the last
Gilbert Barde in known records was in IGIU. Accord-

46 THE BARD FA.MILY

ingly, it seemed as if our CDustructive genealogist
missed tlie chronological moment in not sending him
and his sons to Ireland in tlie wake of the ser\itors in
the Plantation of leister, instead of detaining them in
obscurity in JNIaybole for sixty years after the pos-
session of Kilhenzie had gone to Alexander Kennedy,
of Craigock. It is not worth while, however, to
lament this poetic fault, because another sixty years
elapsed after the supposed settlement of Richard
and Archibald Bard, sons of Gilbert, in Ireland,
before there is mention of a Gilbert Baird in the
Record Office, Dublin. This was in the administra-
tion on the estate of Gilbert Baird, of Rashee. or
Ballynashee, Co. ^^ntrim, January 2G. 1741.

The unusual juxtaposition of Richard and ^Vrchi-
bald as names of the sons of a Scotch laird was due
to exigencies that confronted the genealogist in find-
ing acceptable ancestors for an American family.
The juxtaposition actually existed in the names of
father and son on an American plantation, in IT-H.
It was not difficult for an imaginative genealogist
to make them equally apposite at Kilhenzie and at
Tara, in 1680. If this compiler of genealogies war-
ranted to fit the needs of every customer had. actually
known the names of the father and grandfather of
Archibald Bard, the first of the name to emigrate
from Ireland to Pennsylvania, he might still have
clung to the Kilhenzie stock, but he would have
substituted William and David for his first Archi-
bald and Bernard. With his facility for fictitious
dates as applied to real names he would have been
fully as successful in imposing upon himself, at

A CHRONICLE OF THE BARDS 47

least, as he was in his own mind in building a
genealogical structure with Bards that never ex-
isted. It may be doubted, however, that he would
have attempted to include any of the real Bards,
Bairds, or Beards of Ireland in his genealogical
patchwork.

"M/-HETHER any of tlie Bards of North Kel-

because of the meagreness of our knowledge of the
family and its connecting links in the seventeenth
century, but some fragmentary genealogies tliat liave
been preserved show that it is not insoluble. One

Md.. about 1()8.^). In his will, which was dated
Marcli 18. 1(;88, and proved August 7. 1085, he
left a plantation called "Beard's Choice " to a son
not named of his brother Christopher, "if he come
into Maryland within ten years." Of the English
antecedents of this Bard, or Beard, we ha\e no knowl-
edge, but he may have been a brother of Christo-
pher Bard, who was a son of Richard Bard, of Tealby
Grange. It is also possible tliat he was a son of
Maximilian Bard, of Hammersmith, and that by his
brother Christopher was meant that Christopher

left no male issue, and in bequeathing "Beard's
Choice" to the unnamed son of his brother Chris-

the name into the province. The bulk of his estate,
comprising three tracts, "St. JNIargaret's Field," "St.
INIargaret's Forest" and "Speedwell," which con-

tained 300 acres, went to his grandsons, \A^illiani
and Robert Meakin. In his will, Robert Beard
named his daughter Margaret, and son-in-law, \\' il-
liani Meakin, as his executors and residuary legatees
and he also mentioned another daughter. Elizabeth
Meakin.

Another early Maryland family that may have
been allied with the Bards of North Kelsey was
represented in Anne Arundel county, by Richard
Beard, before 1G54. He became a prominent man
in the province and was a member of the IMaryland
Assembly, 1662-78. His name frequently occurs
in the proceedings of that body. In May, 16G6, he
was appointed one of a committee to draw up anew
the act concerning hog-stealers. He served on the
committee for the re-survey of Anne Arundel county
and he was also on the committee for the erection
of a courthouse for the county. For many years
he was a justice of the peace. ^Vhether he was a
member of the Society of Friends has not been as-
certained, but while he was a member of the assem-
bly he subscribed in behalf of Quaker brethern to
a Quaker petition for the alteration of the form
of oath. He died about 1681. His will was dated
July 24, 167-5, and proved August 10, 1681. In
this instrument he named his wife Rachel, his sons
Richard and John, and his daughters Ruth, Re-
becca and Rachel. Ricliard Beard, son of Richard
and Racliel Beard, was, like his father, prominent
in public affairs in Anne Arundel county. He served
as deputy surveyor of the county of Anne Arundel
and as one of the county commissioners. He was

50 THE BAltl) FAMILY

also a member of the Maryland Assembly. His two
sons, Richard and Matthew Beard, are mentioned
in the will of .John AVheeler, of Anne Arundel
county, in 1684. Other early Beards of the prov-
ince of Maryland were I^ewis Beard, of Somerset,
and AVilliam Beard, of Dorchester county. None
of these families have been traced and the few facts
concerning them that are presented here are gi\en
merely to show the early appearance of the Beard
name in the Maryland ^VrchiAcs.

In the study of the co-related families included
in this volume the task was rendered exceedingly
difficult at the outset by certain deeply rooted pre-
conceptions, that resulted in an erroneous miscon-
ception as regards the common origin of the early
Protestant emigrants from Ireland to Pennsyhania.
This misconception in America is embalmed in the
compound w^ord Scotch- Irish. As a matter of fact
many of the early settlers west of the Susquehanna,
whose descendants are now classed as Scotch- Irish,
including some of the Presbyterian families, were
Anglo- Irish, not Scotch. Among these are the
Bards, of " Carroll's Delight " ; the Butlers, of York
and Cumberland counties; the Poes, of Baltimore,
Marsh Creek and the Conococheague ; and the Pot-
ters, of Brown's Mill. The Barde or Beard family
of Ireland goes back to the time of Queen Elizabeth,
if not earlier, and the Butlers were there in the thir-
teenth century. The Bardes. or Beards, of Queen's
county spring from AN'illiam Barde, or Beard, who
was in Ireland under Sir Henry Sidney. Lord
Deputy, and nuist have borne an important part in

A CHRONICLE OF THE BARDS 51

the advance of the Enghsh arniy from the Pale in
1557, because as early as 15(58, he was granted a
messuage in Maryborough, comprising seven cot-
tages; besides 60 acres arrable, and 40 acres pas-
ture wood and underwood, or 100 acres in all, in
Colte; and 12 acres arrable, and 4 acres pastui'e and
underwood, or 16 aci-es, in Ballycorballe or Ballicor-
bett, all in Queen's county. Indeed, Barde may
have been in Maryborough as early as the reign of
Philip and Mary. Botli the county and assize town
owe their existence to the Queen and were named
in her honor. Queens county was erected from the
ancient territory of Leix, and Maryborough was
constituted a county and assize town because of its
central situation, and its proximity to a strong for-
tress that had been erected to retain this part of the
country in obedience to the English crown, after its
reduction by the Earl of Sussex, the predecessor of
Sidney, as Lord Deputy. In 1570 Queen Elizabeth
granted to the inhabitants of Maryborough a char-
ter and corporation whicli conferred upon it the
privileges enjoved bv those of Xaas. Drogheda and
Duiidalk.

\Villiam Barde, of Maryborough, Queens county.
Ireland, was apparently a native of England,
although no proofs have been found that he was of
the Bards of North Kelsey. He died aI)out 1583, as
appears from a grant, (under a commission dated
17th .lanuary, 26th Eliz.), to Patrick Crosby, gent..
of the wardship and marriage of Thomas Beard, son
and heir of AVilliam Beard, late of Colte, in Queen's
county, and the custody of his lands during his

52 THE BARD FAMILY

minority. William Barde, or Beard, married Jane
Butler, who was probably of the House of Ormond,
and of the same family as the "Hghtino- Butlers" of
the Cumberland \'alley.

Thomas Beard, son and heir of William Barde
and Jane Butler, his wife, died JNIareh 31. 1()40. He
is described in his will, proved April 8, 1()4(), as of
Smithstown, County Meath. To him the inheritance
of land in and about Maryborough pro\ ed a curse
in the disguise of a blessing. When his father died
he was still very young. In 1.588, Patrick Crosby,
gentleman, who seems to have had great facilities
for getting other people's lands in Ireland, obtained
a grant from Queen Elizabeth of the wardshij) and
marriage of the minor, and the custody of his lands
during his minority, free of rent, retaining thirty
shillings a year, and the \ alue of the land for sup-
port of his ward. Twenty-four years later, in 1(>12.
the heir obtained "Li\cry of sei/in and Pardon of
Intrusion" for a tine of five j)oiinds. Then came the
years in which King Charles I was occupied in de-
vising means to raise money without the aid of Par-
liament, and the Earl of Stratford, liOrd Deputy, was
working the forfeiture mill for all it was worth for
his own benefit and the King's. I)isco\erers with
eagle eyes, to use the language of the connuittee

with an agreement between said Beard and the Com-
missioners of the Crown." Previous to the Rebel-
hon of 1641 he sold 18f acres of tlie lands of Colte
to Pierce Fitzgerald. On the breaking out of the
war Maryborough was one of the places held by
the Confederate Catholics; it was seized by Owen
Roe O'Xiel in 164(;. but was subsequently retaken
by Lord Castlehaven, and in 1().50 the fortress was
demolished by the Parliamentarian troops under Col-
onels Reynolds and Hewson. Fitzgerald forfeited
his lands after the rebellion, "as an Irish Papist."
and the title went to Sir Martin Noell, a shrewd
London scrivener, under the Acts of Settlement,
1(560-70. Thomas Beard married Anne Segrave,
daughter of Patrick Segrave, of Killiglan, County
Meath, who was a son of ^^^alter Segrave, the an-
cestor of the Segraves of Cabra, County Dublin.
Walter Segrave was in Ireland temp. Henry A^III,
— (1.541). Patrick Segrave was one of the influen-
tial Catholics who attended the great meeting of
Tara in 1641. Thomas and Anne (Segrave) Beard
had two sons, Thomas and William, and a daughter,
Agnes. AA^illiam Beard died witliout issue, and
Agnes Beard married Edmund Archdeacon, who
was probably of the ancient Irish family of the
JNIcEUigoths, of County Kerry. In A^ol. F 3. 27,
in the Library of Trinity College, Dublin, the
name of Agnes is given as Rose, and the name of
the father is given as the third son of Thomas Beard
of Colkton, in ye Kings county.

Thomas Beard, of Colte, in Queen's county, son
of Thomas and Anne (Segrave) Beard, died July 1,

54 THE BARD FAMILY

1702. His will was dated May 'i-i. ITO'i; it was
proved November 10, 170'2. He was Iniried in the
parish church of Cloiienagh, near his deceased son
and daughter. He gave six pounds to the poor of
Clonenagh and Cloneheen which contain the post
town Mountrath. on the road from Maryborough to
Roscrea. Mr. Beard married ^Vnne Loftiis. daughter
of Adam and Dorcas (Crosby) Loftus, who died in
1732. Adam Loftus was a son of Thomas Loftus,
of Killyan. County Meath. and Ellen Hartpole,
daughter of Robert Hartpole, of Shrule, Queen's
county, and a grandson of Rev. Adam lA)ftus, /Vrch-
bishop of Dublin, and Jane Purden, his wife. Dor-
cas Crosby was a daughter of Richard Crosby, of
Stradbally, Queens County. Thomas and Anne
(Loftus) Beard had a daughter, Anne, who was
married to John Bradshaw. and two sons, AVilliam
and Philip. William Beard was a captain in I^ord
I^isburn's regiment of Foot. Lord Lisburn, who was
a relative of his mother, was killed at the siege of
Limerick ; it is probable that Captain Beard was
killed at the same time. He was unmarried.

Philip Beard, younger son of Thomas and Anne
(Loftus) Beard, died in 1738. He is described in
i-ecords of his time as Captain Philip Beard, of
Ballyroan, and was an extensive owner of lands in
Clonenagh parish, barony of CuUinagh, (Queen's
county. He was married in 172.5 to EUinor Bar-
rington, daughter of John and Dorcas (Wheeler)
Barrington, of Cullinagh. Dorcas Wheeler was a
daughter of .Jonah Wheeler, son and heir of Dr.
Jonah Wheeler, bishop of Ossory, and Dorcas Per-

ceval, of the Percevals of Egmont. Captain Philip
Beard and EUinor Barriiigton. his wife, had a son
Arthm' and a daughter Dorcas. Dorcas Beard was
married, in 1759, to \ViUiani Burdett, surgeon of
H. M. ship, "^^^eigle." /\^rthur Beard was heuten-
ant in Colonel Vorke's Regiment of Foot in 1758,
and the 9th Foot, in 1759. In 1761-08, he was in
General Whitmore's regiment.

A possihle son of William Barde, or Beard, and
Jane Butler, his wife, was Richard Beard, who was
in the service of Francis Blennerhassett, imdertaker
of 1,500 acres of land in the Barony of I^urg, County
Fermanagh, about 1030. That Beard was a man of
consequence is shown by the fact that his arms
were a sword only. 'Vhe Blennerhassetts are a fam-
ily of English or Welsh origin who settled in Ire-
land in the time of Elizabeth. Thomas Blenner-
hassett and his son Robert were the first settlers of
the name in Ireland, where they obtained a part of
the Earl of Desmond's possessions in County Kerry.
Thomas, Sir Edmund, Francis and Leonard Blen-
nerhassett were English undertakers in Lurg and
Coolmakeran, now the Baronies of Lurg and Coole,
County Fermanagh. In 1059. Richard Be;ird, gen-
tleman, had lands in the Barony of Dartrey, County
Monaghan, but perhaps, in the parish of Galloon,
which was partly in tlie baronies of Knockninny and
Clankelly, but cliietly in that of Coole, in County
Fermanagh. This indicates that he was identical
with the Richard Beard who came to the precinct
of Lurg with Francis Blennerhassett. The people
on his estate were eleven in number.

56 THE BARD FAMILY

At a later period, ^^"illialn Barde. or Beard, who
may have been a grandson of Ricliard Beard. Hved
at Maguire's Bridge, in Aghaknx-her parish. County
Fermanagli. By his wife Catharine, he had a
daughter Judith, married to James Guttery. of
JMaguire's Bridge, and a son. xVlexander Beard, who
was married in 1727 to Mary Corry, daughter of
Robert Corry. of Corlet. in Drummuliy parish.
County Fermanagh.

^T^HE two family names that have been repro-
-^ duced most frequently among the descendants
of Arcliibald Bard, of " Carroll's Delight;' are Rich-
ard and Archibald. The former is seldom found in
families of Scotch-Irish descent, while the latter is
generally restricted to persons of Scotch extraction.
\Villiam is a name common to the English Bardes,
or Beards, and the Scotch Bairds, but the compiler
of this history has found Archibald only in the
faniily of ^ViUiam Baird, of Grange, in County
Tyrone. Because Archibald Bard, the ancester of
the Bards, of the Conococheague, Pa., and of Bards-
town, Ky., was possibly of this ftimily, what is
known of the Bairds of Grange is here related.

The ancestor of the Bairds of Grange was Wil-
liam Baird. His name appears on the Hearth Money
Roll for 1666 and another undated Roll on which
are the names of John Baird of Strabane, John
Beard of Tatnepoil, and J«jhn Berd of Gortevy.
He lived at Grange, near the Foyle, in the parish
of Donagheady, barony of Strabane, County Tyrone.
The greater part of this parish was granted by
James I, to Sir John Drunnnond, who founded the
town of Dunamanagh, where he erected a bawn.
Grange derived its name from the ancient church
of Grange, now in ruins, which belonged to the
Abbey of Derry. Near the ruins is an old grave-
yard that was the burial-place of the Bairds. There

(ST)

58 THK HAltl) I'A.MILV

is a number of tombstones to members of the family
that were erected by Dr. Andrew Baird, surgeon
R. N., who hved on the estate called Aughtermoy,
near Dunamanagh. The Presbyterian Church, to
which William Baird of (irange probably belonged,
was known in the l'resb}i;erian records as Dona-
gheady. John Hamilton was the minister, 1G58 88.
He was at the siege of Derry and was afterward
minister of a church in Edinburgh. His successor
was Thomas ^^'insley. 1699 1730. From these
tombstone records it ap})ears that William Baird, of
Grange, had, among others, a son, .lohn Baird, who
was born in 1GG4, and died February 2, 1748. .John
Baird's tombstone, a flat slab, is badly broken and
partly illegible. The tradition is that he was twice
married. By his second wife Jean, who was born in
1684, and died November 2, 1770, he had, among
others, a son, William Baird.

William Baird, son of .John and .lean Baird, was
born in 1715, and died June 20, 1778. He owned a
large estate at Thorney Hill, County Tyrone, and
was biH'ied in the Grange gra\eyard. By his wife
Martha, who was born in 1728, and died in 1798,
he was the father of six sons and three daughters:
.lohn. who went to America ; Alexander, twin
brother of .Tohn, who inherited the Thorney Hill
estate and died unmarried ; William : Margaret,
married James Pollock; .James; Archibald, born in
1762, who was an apprentice in Londonderry at
his father's death ; Andrew, a surgeon in the Royal
Navy; Catharine and Mary.

It was to Andrew Baird, the youngest son of

A CHRONICLE OF THE BAUDS 59

William Baird, of Thoniey Hill, that the present
Baird family of Au^htennoy owes the fine estate
near Dunamanai^h. He was at school at his father's
death and was to ser\ e an apprenticeship to an
apothecary. He became a surgeon in the Royal
Navy, and was made the recipient of a silver pitcher,
the gift of I^ord Nelson, which is still preserved at
Aughtermoy. The inscription upon it is as follows:

Dr. Andrew Baird became the owner of an estate
known as Aughtermoy in 1829, which he purchased
from \Villiam Baird, the younger, third son of his
brother. \\'illiam. He replaced the old house by a
new structure, still standing, which was once a hand-
some mansion, and laid out the grounds around it
in an elaborate manner. They are now falling into
decay from neglect. The farm buildings had walls
around them after the manner of the bawn of the
olden time in Ireland.

\Villiam Baird. son of William Baird, of Thorney
Hill, and Martha, his wife, was born in 1757, and
died in 1844. He was one of the owners with his
brother John of the estate near Dunamanagh, called

(JO THE BARD FAMILY

Aiighternioy. If this property was acquired by
William Baird of Thorney Hill, it was conveyed to
John and ^^'illianl jointly in their father's lifetime.
By Articles of Agreement made July 25, 1778, be-
tween John Baird. eldest son and heir of William
Baird. and ^^"illiam Baird, the younger, third son of
said \Villiam Baird. they agreed to divide the one
undivided moiety. \Villiam Baird sold to his brother
Andrew. H. X.. September 28. 1820. He was then
an old man. but he lived for fifteen years afterward.
This pi-operty is now owned by /Vndrew Baird, son
of Archibald Baird. and grandson of .Fames Baird. of
Thorney Hill. James Baird's children were Archi-
bald, John, a physician, Andrew, a captain in the
Royal Navy, and two daughters. Archibald Baird
inherited Aughtermoy from his uncle. Dr. Andrew
Baird.

So far all efforts to establish the identity of John
Baird, who, according to the traditions of the Bairds
of Thorney Hill, emigrated to America, have not
only proved difficult, but unavailing. The most
probable conjecture, perhaps, would make him iden-
tical with John Baird. who emigrated to Pennsyl-
vania soon after the middle of the eighteenth century
as a young man, and entered the College of Phila-
delphia, in June, 1757. He was graduated in 1759.
and served as a tutor, 1759-Gl. He was ordained as
a minister in the Presbyterian Church, by the Presby-
tery of New Castle, and served the people of Not-
tingham until 1772, when he was dismissed from
his charge and spent the rest of his life on his farm,
near Nottingham Church. Even this assumption is

A CHRONICLE OF THE BAUDS Ol

only guesswork in a case where one guess is as good
as another. Others of his name preceded liim, and
still others followed after him. The early Bard,
Baird and Beard settlers in Pennsylvania, who came
from the banks of the Foyle, in themselves make
a complicated connection. Among these was John
Baird, who settled in Christiana Hundred, in New
Castle county, Del., before 1728. He was the son
of .James Baird, of Strabane, and he is the only one
of the name whose paternity in Ireland has been
positively identified.

.lohn Baird. the ancestor of the Baird family of
Strabane, Coimty Tyrone, and the grandfather of
John Baird, of Christiana Hundred, evidently set-
tled at or near Strabanetown with James Hamilton,
Earl of ^Vbercorn, at the Plantation of leister, or
soon afterward. About the time of his death, which
occurred between 1661 and 166.5, his name appears
on an undated Hearth Money Roll for one hearth
in Strabane. On the same roll are the names of
John Beard for a hearth in Tatnepoil, in Leckpat-
rick parish, and John Berd, of Ciortevy, in Dona-
gheady parish. In 1666, the name of John Baird,
Beard or Berd is not found on the Roll for any of
these places. An answer made in 1676, to an
Exchequer Bill of ^Vndrew Baird, son and heir, and
claiming to be executor of John Baird, of Strabane,
smith, deceased, dated January 26, 1675, admits that
Andrew Baird is the eldest son of John Baird, but
denies that he is executor and asserts that James
Baird is the "the executor of John Baird, who is in
possession of the tenement named in the Bill."

Thus we learn that John Baird, of Strabane, had
issue, among others, two sons. Andrew and .lames.

of Strabane, acquired a number of his father's houses

King .lames II. 1()88 8i». and his chiim for the

memorial registered in the Registry of Deeds Office,
Dublin, shows that after his death his forge and

above and near the Holy Well, near the town, and
the KirridufFe townland, Termonamagan parish.

Strabane town, and KirridufFe townland in the Manor
of Hastings. The deeds were executed by Rebecca
and Robert Beard for themselves and for John
Beard under a letter of attorney, dated February 24,
1728. The INIanor of Hastings contained the town

A CHRONICLE OF THE BARDS «;3

of Castlederg. At the time the above deeds were
executed, John Beard was evidently alone in Chris-
tiana Hiuidred, his wife and son Robert being in
Ireland. It is believed that he settled in Chester
county, Pa., as a John Beard was a taxable in New
I^ondonderry township, 1729-1-1.

\Vitli this satisfactory accoinit of the antecedents
of .lohn Baird. of Christiana Hundred, it is greatly
to be regretted that we ha\e lost trace of his rela-
tions in Ireland and of his posterity in America.
Beyond the legal proceedings in which he became
involved and the fact that he paid hearth money in
Strabane, in 1666, we have no knowledge of Andrew
Baird, John's uncle. Andrew Baird or Beard inay
iiave been the father of Moses Beard, who was an
elder of the Presbyterian Church at Lifford, County
Donegal, opposite Strabane, and was a delegate to
the General Synod of lilster, with his pastor, John
Ball, in 1724. Of John Baird's brothers and sisters
and their posterity we only know that his brother
James followed the occupation of their fatlier and
grandfatlier — that of a blacksmith in Strabane — and
that by his wife Elizabeth he had an only child,
Elizabeth Baird, who was married to Arthur Car-
roll or McCarroll. E\'en the fate of John Baird's
son Robert, wlio was with his mother in Ireland in
1729, was left to possible obliA'ion.

XT seems desirable that we should discuss in this
■*- place the possible descendants of John Baird, of
Christiana Hundred, in America, but interesting as
this discussion may prove, we must premise at the
outset that every assumption upon which it is based
is without authority for the tentati\'e pedigrees
which are made parts of this chapter. These pedi-
grees are all of Baird families in Pennsylvania that
may have been descended from John and Rebecca
Baird, of Christiana Hundred, and they are given
in this place partly for that reason, but principally
that they may not be lost sight of in this Chronicle
of the Bards."

It has not been pro\ed that John Baird, who
was a taxable in Chester county, Pa., 1729-44, was
identical with John Baird, of Christiana Hundred,
and we have no fiu'ther facts relating to either of
them. Contemporary with these, the names of two
other John Bairds are found in the Pennsylvania
records, whose identity with them can neither be
proved nor disproved. One of these seems to have
come to the Manor of Masque, of which Gettysburg
was a part, with the squatters in 1739. He died
about 1749-50, as letters of administration' on his
estate were taken out in York county. Pa., July
28, 1750, witii his widow, Haimah Baird, as admin-
istratrix. In the lists of early settlers on Marsh

February 21, 1748. These four John Bairds may
have been the same person as it seems unlikely that
there were four individuals of like name and age

66 THE BARD FA:\nLY

.According to the traditions preserved by his de-
scendants, John Baird, the ancestor of the Baird
family of Washington county. Pa., was an officer
in the British army under General Braddock, serv-
ing in the disastrous campaign against Fort Du-
quesne in 1755, and sharing in the sanguinary de-
feat on the 9tii of July, on the Monongahela; later,
according to the same authorities, he served in
General Forbes" exj)edition. in 1758, losing Iiis life
in the ambusli that resulted in the capture of "Gen-
eral'" (xrant. In the family accounts he is described
as Major Baird. There is at least one mistake in
the foregoing statement that is obvious. "General""
Grant, wlio conuuanded the detachment that was
so disastrously defeated, September 14. 1758, was
Major AVilliam Grant, of the Highlanders' regiment,
in General Forbes" expedition. Xeither in liis re-
port nor in any of the accounts of the defeat is tliere
mention of a Major Baird. It seems likely that tlie
person meant was Lieutenant John Baird, of Captain
John Prentice's company, in Colonel Hugh Mercer's
battalion, of the Pennsylvania regiment, who was
commissioned April 18, 17<>0. Colonel Mercer was
in connnand at Fort Pitt. ^Vs Lieutenant Baird's
name appears on the rolls, gi\'ing the number of lots
of land alloted to each officer, marked "dead," it is
probable that he died in the service. ^lajor or Lieu-
tenant Baird married Catharine McClean, who lived
at Kennett Square, Chester county. Pa., in her
widowhood, where she died November 28, 1802.
Their only son, .Vbsalom Baird, was a surgeon in the
Revolution.

Absalom Baird, son of John and Catharine
(McClean) Baird, was born in 1758, and died Oc-
tober "27, 1805. He became a physician and began
the practice of his profession at his native viUage.
Kennett Square, Chester county, Pa. He served in
the Ke\ohition as surgeon of Baldwin's regiment
of Artillery Artificers from March 20, 1780, to March
29, 1781. In 1784 he removed to W'ashington
county. Pa., and practiced there with great success
until his death. He became a menibei- of the State
Senate in 1794'. and of the Pennsylvania House of
Representatives in 1798, and was chosen sheriff" of
AVashington county in 1799. 13r. Baird was married
July 14, 1783, to Susanna Brown, daughter of
George Brown, of Chester county, Pa. She died
November 10, 1802. The children of Dr. Absalom
and Susanna Baird were John, George, Thomas
Harlan, a distinguished jurist of western Pennsyl-
vania; William, the father of General Absalom Baird.
U. S. A.; Sarah, who married AVilliam Hodge, of
Kentucky; and Susan, wife of Dr. Hugh Campbell,
of l^niontown. Pa. A pedigree of the family is

John Baird. of East Pennsborough township,
Cumberland county. Pa., died in July, 1778. By his
wife Margaret, he had five children: Esther, John,
Hannah, wife of David Clark: Margaret married
June 26, 1792, David Kilgore; and Elizabeth.

John Baird, presumed to be a son of John and
Rebecca Baird. of Christiana Hundred, New Castle
county, Del., removed from Chester county. Pa.,
with his brother Thomas, about 1747, and settled in

68 THE BARD FAMILY

the Cumberland valley, taking up lands in Guilford
township, Franklin county. As his name does not
appear on the Guilford tax hst of 1751. it is prob-
able that he removed to Peters, where he was a taxa-
ble at that time. He was appointed constable of
the new township of Fannett in 1754. He was
married to Agnes McFall, a daughter of Brise Mc-
Fall. She was born in 1780, and died February 20,
1810. Their children were ^Villiam, John, Francis,
David, Isabella, Agnes and Jane. It is probable
that the sons removed to Frankstown, Blair county.
Pa., but the family has not been traced.

John Baird, of ^^"estmoreland county. Pa., was
born about 1740, and died in April, 1805. His
paternity has not been ascertained. He settled in
Bedford, now Westmoreland county. Pa., as a
young man, and took up lands in Mount Pleasant
township in 1772. He was appointed a justice of
the peace, June 11. 1777: was a member of the
Executive Council of Pennsylvania, 1786 89 ; a
member of the Pennsylvania Convention of 1787,
that ratified the Federal Constitution, but \'oted
against ratification; a member of the Assembly,
1789-90, and of the first House of Representatives
of Pennsylvania, under the Constitution of 1790;
and one of the first Associate Judges of \\^estmore-
land county. The name of his wife was Honoin- or
Honner but they had no children. Mr. Baird's will
shows that he had two brothers. William and
George, both of ^^^estmoreland county. Pa. Wil-
liam Baird had three sons. John. George and \Vil-
liam, and two daughters. Martha and Agnes. George

A CHRONICLE OF THE BARDS (>9

Baird was captain of a company of rangers during
the Revolution. He was the father of two sons,
Robert and Jolin.

The descendants of Robert Baird, son of John
and Rebecca Baird, of Christiana Hundred, present
a genealogical problem as complicated and obscure
as that which has preceded it. He probably returned
from Ireland to America with his mother, but of
this we have no certain knowledge. One Robert
Baird obtained an order for the sm'xey of a tract of
land in what is now Quincy township, Franklin
county. Pa., April 2, 17(57. This land was afterwards
the Clugston and then the Essick farms ; it was
not surveyed until June 9, ]78!», when it had passed
to Robert and .lohn Clugston. A Robert Baird,
probably the same who took up the Quincy land,
was a taxable in Peters township in 1786. He sold
his farm, which was in what is now Montgomery
township, to AVilliam Berryhill, Xoveniber 26, 1702,
and removed to Huntingdon county, where he died
in the winter of 1795 96. The name of his wife
was Rebecca, but nothing further is known concern-
ing her. Their children were Rebecca, Mary, Martha,
George, John and Samuel. If their son John was
the John Baird who was a member of the I'ennsyl-
vania Convention that ratified the Federal Consti-
tution of 1787, they must also have had a son ^^'il-
liam, besides the children named in Robert Baird's
will, which was dated August 27, 1794, and proved
in Huntingdon county, February 12, 1796.

There was still another Baird family in Pennsyl-

the ancestor of which has not been ascertained. In
this Baird family, Robert was a family name through
at least two generations. In the Life of the Rev.
Robert Baird. I). I).. l)y his son, the Rev. Hemy
M. Baird, D.l).. we are told that the Rev. Dr.
Baird's father's family was of Scotch extraction,
wiiicii, alter a sojourn of several generations in the
northern part of Ireland, near Londonderry, had emi-
grated to the American Colonies and settled in the
neighborhood of Lancaster, Pa. This emigrant, even
if not Robert Baird, wiio was with his mother in
Ireland in 1729, may have been one of the sons of
.lohn and Rebecca Beard, of Christiana Hundred,
or a son of Robert Beard, who was a ruling elder
early in the eighteenth century in the Presbyterian
congregation of Taughboyne. now St. .lohnston. in
county Donegal, a few miles from tiic city of Derry.
This Robert Baird died about 1714. His will was
dated December 1!>. 171"i, and proved June 21, 1714.
He owned a mill and other property that he con-
veyed to his eldest son Thomas before his death.
Besides his heir lie had a son .lohn, a lieutenant in
Whittam's regiment of Foot, wiio died in 170(), or
early in 1707. probably in Spain, and Robert, of
whom we have no knowledge. Robert Baird, the
father of the Re\ . Dr. Robert Baird, was born in
I.,ancaster county. Pa.. December 26. 17.'5(i. and died
in Fayette county. Pa., in 1835. "His childish recol-
lections," we are told, "were associated with incidents
of the French war, some of the most thrilling acts
in the border warfare ha\iiig occurred not far from
the home of his early years." This seems to indi-

A CIIUONICLE OF THE BARDS 71

cate that he was born in what is now Dauj^Iiin
county, near Derry Churcli, where there was a Baird
family at a very early period, but nothing has been
ascertained to establish tlie assumption. In those
early days the name of I^ancaster Avas often made
to embrace a very wide region, and it may be tliat
he was a son of Thomas Baird, who lived on the
Falling Spring, in the Cumberland A'alley, adjacent
to Chambersburg. As a lad lie served in the Ameri-
can army, in 1776, but was detained by sickness at
Amboy while his company participated in the battle
of Long Island. After the Revolution lie settled
in Fayette county, Pa., at what became New Salem,
between Uniontown and Brownsville, where he
secured a tract of land containing several lunidred
acres. He was married February 20. 1781. to Eliza-
beth Reeves, whose parents were of English and
Welsh descent, but natives of Long Island. In his
will he mentions a wife Sarah, and four sons, Moses,
Alexander, Aaron and Robert, as well as four
daughters. Hannah Gallaher, Lydia Miller. Susanna
Burnet, and Elizabeth Dearth.

Thomas Baird. of Falling Spring, named as pos-
sible grandfather of the Rev. Dr. Bairtl, was probably
a son of John and Rebecca Beard, of Christiana
Hundred, New Castle county, Del., and New
Ijondon township, Chester county. Pa. He was
born about 1724, and died before November, 1775.
He came to the Falling Spring with his brother
John, about 1747, and took up 292 acres of land in
what is now Guilford township. Franklin county,
Pa., then I.,ancaster county. This plantation was

72 THE BARU FAMILY

adjacent to the present limits of the borough of
Chanibersburi)-. Jolin Baird at the same time ob-
tained a grant of 292 acres of land adjoining the
Benjamin Chambers" lands on the west and nearly
surrounded by his brother Thomas' tracts on the
north and east, lioth tracts seem soon after the
surveys to ha\e become the property of Thomas
Baird, who was a taxable in (iuilford township in
1751, while the name of John Baird does not appear
on the tax list for the township. A considerable
part of this land was purchased by ^Vbraham Stoutter
in 17!>2. Stouflt'er came to Falling Spring from
Manheim, Lancaster county, and was, at one time,
the most extensive land owner along that beauti-
ful stream, either before or since his day. Only two
early landmarks remain of the Baird plantations — the
fine stone farmhouse built by Peter Eberly in 179H
and now owned by Thaddeus M. Mahon, and the
interesting mansion built by Judge James Riddle
on his Coldbrook estate, which is now the property
of Augustus Duncan. Mr. Baird was a prominent
man in his township, and he tilled a number of town-
ship offices. His wife was Mary Douglass. A pedi-
gree of the family is given herewith.

James Baird, the eldest son of Thomas and Mary
(Douglass) Baird, was born in 174.8. He was a sur-
veyor and assisted Captain James Potter, afterward
General Potter, in a resurvey of the lands of John
McMillan, on the Monongahela, in March, 1771.
In 1772, he was on the assessment list for Hemp-
field township, Bedford county, afterward ^^'est-
moreland, where he had two tracts of land of :5()()

to Kentucky and drew lot 25, afterward No. 88, in
the first drawing of lots for the town of Louisville,
April 24, 1779. He represented Nelson county in
the conventions that made Kentucky a state. He
was married to Mary Potter, daughter of Captain
John Potter, the first sheriff of Cumberland county.
Pa. In his will. (General James Potter mentions
one son of this marriage, James Potter Baird.
There was probably another son. Thomas Baird,
and two daughters. Thomas Baird died without
issue, near Bardstown, Ky., in 1791. He made a
will, which was pro\ed in Nelson county, Ky.,
December 13, 1791, in which he gave to his brother
James. 200 acres of land, and to his brothers-in-law,
John Shields and \Villiam Wilson, 100 acres each,
and named his mother as his residuary legatee.

Thomas Baird, the second son of 'J'homas and
Mary (Douglass) Baird, was born on the Falling
Spring, near Chambersburg, Pa., in 1754, and died
in Kentucky. He was assessed for 300 acres of land
in Hempfield township, Bedford coimty. Pa., after-
ward Westmoreland, in 1772. He bought from his
brother .John. November 14, 1770, a part of the old
Baird plantation on the trailing Spring, which John
Baird obtained under proceedings in partition in the
Orphans' Coiut of Cumberland coimty. This tract
he sold to Hugh (iibb, January 2, 1778, by whom
it was called (iibbsburg. It subsequently became
the coimtry seat of Judge James Riddle, who bought
it from Giljb's executors, .January 9, 1794. On this
(iibbsburg land, Judge Riddle built the fine old

stone mansion that is still standiii<>' and is now
owned by Augustus Duncan. He was in Ciuilford
township, Franklin comity. Pa., during part of the
Revolution, and was enrolled in Captain AVilliani
Long's Company, Cumberland County Associators.
of which he was company clerk. It is supposed that
he was the Thomas Bard who was commissioned
second lieutenant of Captain James Calderwood's
Independent Company. January 23. 1777. This
company was raised in the Cumberland \'alley. and
was originally attached to the 11th \'irginia Regi-
ment in the Continental service. Captain Calder-
wood was killed in the battle of the Brandywine.
Owing to some dissatisfaction the company was dis-
banded soon after his death. Lieutenant Bard went
to Kentucky with his brother James and drew Lot
No. 1. in the first drawing of lots for the town of
Louisville. April 24. 1779. He probably settled near
Bardstown, but in 1795 he was living in Shelbys-
\'ille. Ky., as is shown by his appointment as guar-
dian in Cumberland county. Pa., of his son Charles.
Mr. Baird married Esther Kilgore, daughter of
Charles and Jane Kilgore, of East Peimsbt)rough
township, Cumberland county. Pa.

Charles Baird, son of Thomas and Esther (Kil-
gore) Baird, was born at Bardstown, Ky., May 23.
1777, and died at Clayvillage, Ky. He was married
to Catharine Tyler, daughter of Judge John and
Mary (Armistead) Tyler, of ^"irginia. She was born
June 13, 1777, and died August 10, 1839. ISIrs.
Baird was a sister of Jolin Tyler, tenth president of
the United States. Robert Baird, the eldest son of

A CHROMCr.K OF THE BARDS 75

Cliarles and Catharine (Tyler) Baird, was born at
Clayvillage, Ky., November 7, 1798, and died at
Sliirleysburg, Pa. He was graduated M. D. at tlie
l^niversity of Pennsylvania and practiced his pro-
fession successi\'ely at Cassville, Three Springs, and
Sliirleysburg. in Huntingdon county. Pa.

John Baird, the third son of Thomas and Mary
(Douglass) Baird. was born on the Falling Spring in
175(i. and died in Beaver county. Pa. He bought
tlie Tiiomas Baird homestead in Guilford township,
Cumberland county, now Franklin, under partition
proceedings in the Orphans' Court of Cumberland
coiuity in 1775, his elder brothers, James and
'i'homas, having renoimced in his favor. He was
enrolled in Captain \\^illiam Long's company, Cum-
berland County Associators, in 1779, and served a
tour of duty under Ivieutenant Adam Harmony.
Late in life he removed to Allegheny, afterward
Beaver county.

Saniuel Baird, the fourth son of Thomas and
Mary (Douglass) Baird, was born on the Falling
Spring about 1757, and died at PottsA'ille, Pa., Jime
26, 1820. He was a surveyor and was interested in
the coal mines on the Schuylkill in 1784. The first
discovery of anthracite coal is claimed for Colonel
Thomas Potts, while hunting at the west branch of
Norwegian creek, in Schuylkill county. \\'^ith se\en
other persons, of whom Mr. Baird was one, he pur-
chased the land on which the coal was found. This
coal land was on the branches of the Schuylkill, and
consisted of ten tracts. An effort was made to work
tlie mines under the direction of ]\Ir. Baird, but he

76 THE BARD FAMILY

became discouraged and sold his interest in 1788.
Ml-. Baird was married to Rebecca Potts, daughter
of Thomas and Deborali (Pyewell) Potts. She was
born in 1757, and died June 10. 1830. The distin-
guished scientist, Professor Spencer FuUerton Baird,
of the Smithsonian Institution, was a son of their
son Samuel.

The history of W'illiam Baird. tlie Hfth son of
Thomas and Mary (Douglass) Baird. is in\olved
in some obscurity. So far it has been found im-
possible to identify him. and this is also true of
his younger brothers. Robert and Joseph Baird.

Another Baird or Bard family that was possibly
descended from John and Rebecca Beard, of (^hris-
tiana Hundred, is descended from William Baird, an
early settler in Letterkenny township. Franklin
county. Pa., who died December 11, 1810. He was
a farmer, and a member of the Rocky Spring Pres-
byterian Church, in the graveyard of which his re-
mains were deposited, "attended by the neighbors
and a large number of relatives and friends." The
name of his wife was Mary. A pedigree of the
family is included in the accompanying charts. Three
of his sons were soldiers of the Re\olution. Andrew
Baird, who died in August. 181.-J, served with Captain
.James Patton's marching company, of Lieutenant-
Colonel David Bells regiment, in 1778. and was
enrolled in Captain Joseph Culbertson's company,
Cumberland County Associators, in 1781. .John

ing regiment in 177H. NN'^illiani Baird was also en-
rolled in Captain McConnell's company, and served
a tour of duty with Colonel Smith's regiment. He
was born in 1762. and died June 30, 1815. His
wife was Margaret Durbarrow, who was born March
12, 1771, and died March 12. 183.5. Robert Baird,
the youngest son, was born in 1709, and died March
11, 1804, and his wife Elizabeth was born February
17, 1769, and died April 2-t, 1842. The descendants
of this Baird family now spell the name Bard.

^T^O differentiate the early Bard. Baird and Beard
-*- families of Pennsylvania is a difficult under-
taking. In the Provincial and Revolutionary records
tlie three orthographies are used indiscriminately,
often for the same person. E\en in family usage
a settled uniformity was long disregarded. In the
record of marriages in Christ Church. Philadelphia,
the name Bard does not occur at all, but John Bard
and Elizabeth Sweeting were married at (xloria Dei
(Old Swedes"), February 21, 1754. In the Christ
Church marriage records the Bairds were Joseph,
married November 22. 17<)1. to Saraii Smith;
Thomas, married May 2. 174..5, to Ann Cormont ;
and William, married June 20, 1797, to Sai'ah Re-
side. The name of Beard occurs only once in these
records. George Beard was married December 13,
1740, to Aime EUicot. In the Old Swedes' Church
records the name Baird does not occur, but the
Beard marriages include ^Vlexander, married De-
cember 31, 17!)7, to Catharine McClennan ; .Vnn.
married October 1, 17<)C. to James Fitsinnnons ;
Elizabeth, married Xo\ ember 11, 1776, to Francis
Bell: Jane, married July 1(J, 1797, to John Cham-
pagne; Robert, married May 24, 1794, to Elizabeth
McCall; and Sarah, married December 2, 1792. to
John Fisher. /Vmong the early marriages of the
First Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia, is the name
of Elizabeth Baird, who was married June 11, 174G,

A CHRONICLE OF THE BARDS 79

to Samuel ^^^allace, and the names of tliree Beards,
Jane, married Xovember 28, 1724, to .James Ram-
iige: Rebecca, married April 10, 1724, to Samuel
Hatrick; and Robert, married Xovember 26, 1728,
to Susanna ^Valker. Among the later marriages
in that church, 1700-1803, there are no Bairds or
Bards, and only one Beard. .Judith, who was married
t'ebruary 16, 1782, to Sanuiel ltol)innet. Strangely
enough the names of Baird, Bard or Beai'd does
not occur in the early marriage records of the Second
and Third Presbyterian Churches of l^hiladelphia,
but in a list of I^ennsylvania marriages, printed in
tlie second volume, second series, of the Pennsyl-
vania /Vrchives. we have these additional Baird
names: Uaimah, married x\^pril 18, 1767, to Robert
.Jamison; .Jane, married May 12. 176(>, to William
Richards; and .John, married .June 2.5, 1763, to
Elizabeth Diamond.

It may be assumed that these Bairds were emi-
grants from Ireland, of Scotch extraction, forming
part of the forerunners of the people widely known
in America as Scotch-Irish. The first of this Scotch-
Irish stock to coine to I'hiladelphia, so far as the
records show, was Dr. Patrick Baird, who was
appointed health officer at Quarantine as early as
1720. He was clerk to the ProAincial Council, 1723-
20. and 1740-42; Clerk of the Court of Vice-Ad-
miralty, 1724-35; register, 1735-44; and .Judge,
1749-52. He was, besides, appointed an examiner
in Chancery in 1725, and he was Sui'veyor of the
Customs, 1732-35. In 1730, as a chirurgeon, he
rented the vendue-room in the northeast corner of

80 THE BAUD FA.MILV

the first Philadelphia Town House. That he was
a man of probity is shown by the Aote of thanks
from the Provincial Council, when he resigned in
17-12. for his "diligence and exactness in the dis-
charge of his duty." The reason for his retirement
was declining health. His name is on the list of the
First Philadelphia Dancing Assembly. His wife

Elizabeth . surname not ascertained, was

buried at Christ Church, October 7. 1750. It has
not been ascertained whether Dr. Patrick and
Elizabeth Baird had issue.

Patrick Baird was a name often found both in
Scotland and in Ireland. As early as 1599, Patrick
Baird, writer, was ser^'ant to ^^^alter Baird of
Ordinhaus. He was one of the Bairds of Auch-
medden. At a still earlier period, Patrick Bard
or Barde, son of John Bard, and Patrick Barde,
son of Robert Barde, were contemporaries in the
barony of Cilasgow. John Bard is mentioned in
1511 in connection with the lands of Estyr JNIock-
row and Edyngeich. In 1538, John Bard's son,
Patrick Barde, liad the Estyr Mockrow lands. In
155() these lands passed to John Bard, son of Patrick
Bard and Margaret Tyndail, his wife. Patrick Bard,
son of .lohn Bard, obtained the lease of a tract of
land in Edyngeich. He married Margaret (Tarts-
choir, and had a son John. Patrick Bard, last named,
died about 1553.

Another Patrick Barde was a son of Kol)ert
Barde, of the barony of Glasgow, who owned the
lands of Confiattis. Robert Barde was married to
Isabelle Newlands. and besides Patrick, had a son

A CHRONICLE OF THE BAUDS «1

Thomas, presumed to be Thomas Barde, of Diim-
mershyl, who married Janet Crowar, and a daughter
Isabelle, who married John Stirhng (spelled Ster-
welling). of (iartinkirk. Patrick Barde, son and
heir of Robert Barde and Isabelle Newlands, his
wife, died about 1556. He was married to Janet
Towand. Patrick Barde's son, Thomas, inherited
his interest in the Conflattis lands. In both of the
foregoing families the surname was as often spelled
Baird as Barde.

Among the wills on record at Somerset House,
London, is one of Peter Board, belonging to the
ship Dumidgo, Captain Sanuiel Boyles. This will
was dated November 20, 1717, and it was signed
I*atrick Bard. It is evident that Peter Board, or
Patrick Bard had no children as he made John
Martin his executor and sole legatee. In the index
to wills at Somerset House the entiy is Beard,
alias Bard, followed by the words " [idrii.sdt.s pdt-
r'niKs." \ similar \'ariation occurs in the nuncupa-
ti\e will of ^^'illiam Board, or Bard, of County
Londonderry, Ireland, which was proved February
20, 1722. It seems to have been reduced to writing
while he lay on his deathbed, but as he was too
weak to write his name he affixed a mark. In the
body of the will his name is written William Board,
but for the mark, William Bard. His executor was
John Bard.

Besides the English and Scotch Bairds, Bardes
and Bards, a number of Huguenots of the name found
their way to London. Albert Bard is mentioned
in a marriage contract between Jacques Francois

82 THE BARD FAMILY

and Rebecca Ricquart. dated July 14, 1626. Bard
was Rebeccas uncle. At a later period, Jean Bard,
son of Jean, was baptized in the French church,
Threadneedle street, London. This baptism was in
1685. Nearly twenty years later, August 15, 1706,
Jacques Bard and IMarie, his wife, had a daughter
baptized in the French church, Le Grecs, in Crown
street, afterwards called I..ittle Edward street. These
are only a few of many similar cases that perhaps
may be uncovered.

Many Huguenots souglit refuge from religious
persecution in Ireland, from where some of them
emigrated to America. The Rev. A. Stapleton in
his " Memorials of the Huguenots," gives the names
of two Bairds, Fran(,'ois and \\'illiam, who emigrated
from Lorraine in 1754'. In Rupps list of the pas-
sengers on the Nancy, who landed at Philadelphia,
September 14, 1754, are Wilhelm and Frantz Bahr.
If the descendants of either of these adopted the
name of Baird it is clear that they did not derive
it either from Ireland or Scotland. No trace has
been found of Frantz Bahr or Francois Baird, in
Lancaster county. Pa., to which the latter is credited
in Mr. Stapleton's list, and the only possible iden-
tification of \\^ilhehn Bahr with William Baird is
with \\"illiam, of Earl township, Lancaster county.
Pa., wlio owned lands in Menallen township. York,
now Adams county.

Nothing is known of William Baird, of Earl
township, Lancaster comity, and later of Menallen
township, Yoi"k comity, except the meagre facts
gleaned from tiie York County Records. A deed

A CHRONICLK OF THE BARDS 83

for the Menallen township farm, whicli contained
253^ acres, from ^¥i^iam Simson to Baird, is on
record in the office of the Recorder of Deeds, at
York. It was dated August 9, 1764, and acknowl-
edged before John Pope, a justice of the peace for
York county. Simson obtained a Proprietary war-
rant for tlie hmd, September 5. 174(5, and it was
surveyed to him, October 19, 1747. Baird died about
1766-67, leaving a wife, Martha, and six children, —
three sons, Joseph, Andrew and \Yilliam, and three
daughters. Elizabeth, Margaret and Rebecca. All
these children were minors at the time of their
fathers death except Joseph Baird or Beard, the
eldest son. Proceedings were l)egun in tlie Orphans'
Court, of York county, November 2.5, 1767, on
petition of .Joseph Beard, for the partition of the
real estate, but beycjnd the appointment of guar-
dians of the younger children, the record shows no
further action in regard to W'^illiam Baird's estate.
NA'^hat became of it, or of his descendants is shrouded
in obscurity.

The fragmentary character of the records relating
to tlic Baird families of Pennsyhania renders the
genealogical problems affecting any of them exceed-
ingly difficult, and their solution must wait the dis-
coxery of more satisfactory data.

Equally complicated and unsatisfactory is the
information so far obtained in regard to the Bairds
of New .Jersey. The first of tliese was James Baird,
one of the adherents of the Church of Scotland, who
was banisiied to Xew Jersey in America, July 19,
1684. His name has not been found in the records

84 THE BARD FAMILY

of the Jerseys, but about that year John Baird set-
tled near Freehold, in Monmouth county. He was
a Presbyterian, his name being mentioned in the
"Brick Church Memorial." It may be that James,
mentioned in \\^oodrow's "Cloud of Witnesses,"
was a misprint for John, but it is more likely that
John was a son of James and was brought to East
Jersey by his father. ^\^hatever the facts in regard
to the two Bairds, James and John, John Baird
seems to have been the ancestor of the first family
of Bairds of Scotch extraction that came to America.
He was born in 16G5, and died in April, 17o5. He
emigrated to Xew Jersey about 1(>83, and settled in
Monmouth county, neai- Freehold. He married
Mary Hall. Tradition says that their courtship was
one of the shortest on record. At their first meet-
ing addressing her he said, "If thou wilt marry me,
say. Yea; if thou wilt not marry me, say. Nay."
Mary said, "Yea," and they were married in l<t84.
Among the children of John Baird and Mary Hall,
his wife, we have the names of Joim. Andrew, David
and Zebulon.

John Baird. son of Jolui Baird, the emigrant,
was born .lamiary 27, 1()!>!>. and died February 0,
IT-tT. He left his estate in Monmouth county,
\. .1., to his wife .Vvis. Their son. William Baird.
who died in 17!>4, lived in Morris county. X. J., but
subsequently remo\ed to Pennsyhania and settled
in Dunstable township. Xortlumiberland. now Clin-
ton county, where he bought 218 acres of wild land
in 1785, on which he built a log house that was his
home for the rest of his life. He was married

A CHRONICLE OF THE BARDS 8.5

December 1, 1750, to Margaret Riley. His sons
were William, Zebulon, Benjamin and Joseph.

\^^illiam Baird, son of William and Margaret
(Riley) Baird, was probably identical with \^'^illiam
Bard, who was appointed second lieutenant of Cap-
tain ^^^illiam ^^''ork"s company, 12th Regiment, Pa.
Line, October 16, 1776. How long he served is
unknown. I^ieutenant Bard has been claimed as a
son of Peter and Mary (de Normandie) Bard, of
Mount Holly, N. J., but as their son William died
in infancy, the assumption can not be accepted.
That he was ^Villiam Baird, the son of \Villiam,
who emigrated to Xorthimiljerland comity is shown
by the fact that the Twelfth Peimsylvania was
raised on the ^^^est Branch of the Susquehanna.

Zebulon Baird, also a son of William and Mar-
garet (Riley) Baird, was born in New Jersey, Feb-
ruary 19, 1762, and died in Clinton county, Pa. He
removed to Pennsylvania witli his parents in 1785.
He built a house for himself on the A¥est Branch
of the Susquehaima, on a part of the Baird Iiome-
stead that he inherited from his father. He was
married January 1, 1789, to Martha Brown, who
died in 1847.

90 THE BARD FAMILY

1(590 91. AA'hile it may be assumed that the Bairds
of West Jersey were descended from \VilUam and
Katharine Beard, it is impossible, in the absence of
the connecting- links in the family chain, to fix the
relationship of the three Bairds whose names are
found in the records of Hunterdon county in the
latter half of the eighteenth century.

IVrONE of the early families of New Jersey was
-^^ more interesting than that which came from
Peter Benoist Bard. In this work it fills a niche
of the highest inipt)rtance because it is typical of
of the whole Bard kinship. It is the connecting
link between the Bards of Italy, (Germany. France
and England and the Bairds of Scotland, and the
Bairds and Beards of Ireland and America. Among
Americans of Continental extraction it stands for
that distinctive brand of French Protestantism that
rejoices in the name of Huguenot. Unfortunately,
a disposition has been shown by some of the Ameri-
can families of Continental extraction to confine
their claim of Huguenot descent wholly to them-
selves, and seek to narrow the widely disseminated
septs of tlie Bards to a few families of French
Protestants. The effect of these efforts at limita-
tion has been to obscure instead of conserve. The
Bards of Burlington, who are of imquestionable
Huguenot descent, have suffered with the others
from this narrowing policy, and it has been found
impossible in consequence to make the history of
this family as complete as it might have been had
there been an earlier and wider recognition of the
Bard kinship.

l*eter Benoist Bard was a Huguenot, wlio Hed to
England witli his family in 1082, and died in Lon-
don. According to some accounts, he remained in

and noteworthy French family. As eaily as 1460,
Guillaume de Normandie was Governor of Noyon ;
his wife was a daughter of the Lord de Mialle d'Aisilly
and Montiscouit. One of his descendants, Laurent
de Normandie, was a close friend of John Calvin and
prominent in the Reformation. Jean de Normandie
was a son of Laurent, Joseph was a son of Jean,
Michael was a son of Joseph, and Andre «as a son
of Michael.

102 THE BARD FAMILY

James of Bard, son Peter and Dinah (Marniion)
Bard, was born August 2. 1722, and died in infancy.

A^^illiam Bard, son of l*eter and Dinah (Marmion)
Bard, was born August 30, 1723, and died July 30.
1790.

The Bards of Burlington are now extinct in the
male line.

'TIHE first mention of the Bard name after that
-*- of Colonel Peter Bard was May 1, 1712, when
a widow Bard was married by the Re\ . John Sharpe
to Francis Sheerman. It is, perhaps, too late to as-
certain who the first husband of Mrs. Bard was, but
it is possible — barely possible — that he was of the
same stock as Thomas Bard, of whom we had a
glimpse as a passenger from England to ^"irginia
on the "Assurance," in 1635. This Thomas is
probably identical with Thomas Bard whose name
is joined with that of Thomas Juxon, in the will
of Charles Harvey, citizen and draper of London,
proved November 5, 1672. The reference in Har-
vey's will is as follows : " Cousins Thomas Bard and
his wife and Thomas Juxon and his wife." Thomas
Juxon was the second son of John Juxon, and a
grandson of William Juxon, bishop of London.
Among his cousins were Sir ^A^illiam Juxon and
"Willie Juxon, late of Virginia." Tliis last phrase
is suggestive of Thomas Bard's return to England
pre\ious to the mention of his name in Harvey's
will. He was born in 1619, and he may have been
one of the Bards of North Ivelsey, possibly a son
or nephew of the Rev. George Bard, of Staines,
Middlesex.

In the same year that Thomas Bard emigrated
to \'^irginia, 163.5, another Bard, Robert, came out
as a servant in an English family. No descendants

(103)

104 THE BARD FAMILY

of these \'ir^inia Bards liave been found. The name
is found in \evv England ahiiost as early as in
^"irginia. The Lymi records show that John Bard,
son of John, was born January 2!). 16(58. From these
Johns it is possible that the Bards of Billerica and
Charlestown. JMass.. and of Ferrisburgh. Vt.. given
below, were derived, but this is far from established,
as the name was also written Beard, and there was a
number of early Beard emigrants in New England.
Among these were Thomas Beard. Salem. Mass..
1029: William Beard. Dover. X. H.. 1640; James
and Jeremy Beard. Milford. Conn.. 1642; Aaron
Beard, Pemaquid. 1674; and Thomas Beard, Ips-
wich, 1675.

William Beard, who settled at Dover, X. H.. in
1640, was described at the time of his death as
"the good old man." He was killed by the Indians
at Durham, in 167>. His son, Joseph Beard, was
born in 16.5.5, and was living at Dover, X. H.,
in 1694. .Joseph Beards wife, Esther, died in
1685.

The Hrst of the Bards of Billerica. Mass.. of
whom mention has been foimd, was David Bard,
who was married to Haimah Hayward. His son,
David Bard, was married to Mary I ngersol, of X^ el-
son, X^. H.. and had a son, Simeon Ingersol Bard,
who was born at Xelson. X"^. H., June 2. 1797, and
died at Derby. Vt.. .Tune 10, 1852. Simeon Ingersol
Bard was a teacher in early life, but. having studied
medicine, he practiced his profession at Hillsboro.
X. H., and later at Francistown. He subsequently
removed to Derby, Vt., where he adopted the honieo-

pathic system. Dr. Bard was married .lime 2.
182.5, to Lucinda Stowe Morse, of Hillsboro. and
had three daughters, Mary Ingersol, Elizabeth
CTreenwood and I^orraine Reed, and one son,
George Ingersol Bard. CTeorge Ingersol Bard was
born at Francistown. X. H., May .5, 1885. He was
graduated at the University of A'ermont in 18.57,
and at Andover Seminary in 1800. He is a
Congregational minister in Xew Hampshire. He
was married August 1, 1861, to .Teruslia Gould
Parker, of I^ittleton, N. H. His children were
Henry Ingersol. a physician; George Parker, a
civil engineer; Mary; Herbert Barclay; and .lulia
Howard.

There was a Margaret Bard at Boston. .luly '11,
1708, and Edward Bard was living at Charlestown,
JMass.. in 1774'. His wife was Sarah, and his children
were Mary, Nancy, and Edward.

Warren Bard, a native of Ferrisburgh, \^t., was
l)orn April 18. 1809, and was married May, 11, 1836,
to Mary .lane \\"ebster, daughter of Benijah and
Esther (Bostwick) Webster. She was born at V^er-
gennes. \'t.. December 14. 1814. Their children were
AVilliani AVebster and Mary Ellen. AN'illiam
Webster Bard was born April 7, 1839, and died
May 2, 1898. He was married October 17, 1866,
to l^rsula Porter, who was born at Ferrisburgh,
May 1, 1840. Their children were Cora .lulia and
Emma .lane.

Besides the later Xew England Bards, there were
a number of families of the name in the middle and
western states at the Revolutionary period and

106 THE BARD FAMILY

afterwards. It has not been found practicable to
trace the hneage of any of these faniihes, except
in a fragmentary and desultory way. In most
of them, even the coinitry of their ancestry is
uncertain. The meagre information concerning them
that has been collected during the preparation
of this work is here gi\'en in sunnnarized form,
for its preservation, with the hope that it may lead
those whom it interests to make more successful
efforts.

A New Jersey family, apparently not related to
the Bairds of Monmouth and Hunterdon counties
or the Bards of Burlington, is descended from
Thomas Bard, who settled near Tom's river, in
Ocean comity, X. .1.. in the closing years of the
eighteentii century, where he married into a Dutch
family of the neighborhood, his wife being Dolly
or Dorothy ^'an Note. He was the father of six
sons, Zebedee, William, Thomas, Joseph, Joel and
Benjamin, and two daughters, Deborah and ]Mar-
garetta. Thomas Bard, the younger, went to Mill-
ville, Cumberland county. X. J., in 1822. His son.
Samuel F. Bard, li\ es at Bridgeton, N. J. Joel Bard,
another son of Thomas and Dolly (A'an Xote) Bard,
went to Indiana in 1850, and later removed to Boone
county, Iowa. He was married to Anna INIaria
Shnltz. daugliter of .Tohn and Sarah Shultz. They
had a son, George Bard, and a daughter, Enmia
Hannah Bard (xMrs. Shoemaker), of Cirand Rapids,
I owa.

Among the later Bard families of I'ennsyhania
was one of which James Bard, i native of County

A CHRONICLE OF THE BARDS 107

Down, near Belfast, Ireland, was the progenitor. It
is said that his grandfather suffered tiie miseries of
the siege of Londonderry, from which it may be
inferred that he belonged to one of the Baird families
that were settled on both sides of the Foyle, after
the Plantation of IHster. James Bard emigrated to
Pennsylvania during the Revolution and settled in
the Conococlieague \"alley, as a part of the great
Cumberland \"alley is often called. He was enrolled
in Captain John McConnell's company of Colonel
Samuel Culbertson's battalion, Cumberland Comity
Associators, 1780 81-82. This indicates that he
lived in Letterkenny or Hamilton township in what
is now Franklin county. Pa. After the Re\ olution
he removed to the Black Log ^'alley, in Hunting-
don county. Pa., where his children were reared, and
where he died. As a young man. Mr. Bard was
married in Ireland to Jane Rutherford, whom he
left behind liim, with their two eldest sons. ^Villianl
and Hugh. After the Revolution, Mrs. Bard, with
her children, followed her husband to America, and
liAcd to be almost a centenarian, dying in Black I^og
Valley in 1856. Landing at New York after a voy-
age of three months, she made the journey to the
Conococheague in a wagon, hauling one of the boys
all the way with a broken leg. Their other sons,
James, Adam and Samuel, and their daughter
Nancy, were born in Pennsylvania, ^^'illiam and
James Bard died without issue. Hugh married and
removed to western PePiisyKania. Adam removed
to Mifflin county. Pa.; he had daughters but no
sons. Samuel was ' wice married, first to Marv Mor-

There was also a daughter, who died unmarried.
Nancy Bard, daughter of James and .lane Bard, was

Paradise Furnace, Himtingdon comity. Pa. She
died at Orbisonia in 1880. Her children were Hester

Martha married Thomas Kelly. Alfred J. Hamil-
ton served with the ]!>th Pennsylvania C'avahy in
the Civil Win: He is a physician at Cassville. Pa.
liobert Hamilton, the youngest son. died in the
army near Richmond, Va., in 18G4.

Another Bard or Baird family of the Conoco-
cheague A^alley, already briefly noticed with a pedi-
gree in a preceding chapter, presents a curious varia-
tion in the use of the names of Bard and Baird at
different periods. On the tombstone inscriptions in
Itocky Spring graveyard the name was at first spelled
Bard, but at a later period it became Beard. The
living representatives of the family have all re\ erted
to the original spelling, and the name now in use by
the descendants is Bard. This is also true of the
descendants of William and Jane (Martin) Baird.
of Shippensburg. This ^Villiam Baird was probably
a son of .John Bard, and a grandson of William and
Mary Bard, of Rocky Spring. He was born in
December. ITT-l. and died December 2.5. 1839. He

A CHRONICLE OF THE BARDS 109

was married in December, 1794. to Jane Martin,
wlio was born in 1770, and died in 1857. Their sons
were James and David, .fames, the elder son, seems
to have followed his father's example early in life,
but all his descendants write the name Bard. He
was born August 1, 1795, and died October 18, 1862.
He was for many years a teacher of the old-fash-
ioned subscription or pay schools, which preceded
the public school system in Pennsylvania. Captain
Bard, as he was generally called, was married
in October, 1820, to Margaret Orr, daughter of
Thomas and JNIartha (Breckenridge) Orr. She was
born September 13, 1799, and died Jamiary 9,
1872. She was a sister of the Orr brothers who
were the founders of the borough of Orrstown,
in Franklin county. Pa. James and Margaret
Bard were the parents of five sons, Samuel INI.,
\\"illiam Strong, John Orr, Thomas Orr, and
David James, and of two daughters, Jane Orr,
who was married first to James Breckenridge, and
second to John Quigley, and Isabella, who died
unmarried, October 22, 1899. The descendants of
James and Margaret Bard, who are numerous, are
generally distinguished in familiar speech as the
Orrstown Bards.

Another William Baird whose family history has
not been traced, but whose descendants now spell
their name Bard, bought a tract of land in Armagh
township, Cumberland, now INIifilin county, which
he conveyed to his son Samuel, M;iy 19. 1782. This
land had previously belonged to .lames McBride. of
Antrim township, FrankHn county, who sold it to

110 THE BAKU FAMILY

Isaac Bole. AVilliani Baird's wife was Jean, and the
wife of their son Samuel was Martha. Samuel Bard
lived on the farm in Armagh township conveyed to
him by his father, and died in 1788. His children
were .John. .Tames. Martha, Agnes. A\"illiam. Samuel.
Mary and Hugh. The history of this family remains
to be traced.

There were near the close of the eighteenth cen-
tury two Bards in the C'onococheague \'alley,
Robert and .lames, whose family connections have
not been found. Robert Bard was a taxable in
Peters township. Franklin county. Pa., in 178(5. and
died near Mercersburg. I'a.. in February. 1818. In
his will he describes himself as a schoolmaster and
speaks of his son Robert, "finisher of fine hats" at
" Lewevill "" in the State of " Kaintuck." and of
another son .lames, a cooper, at Baltimore. .Judge
Archibald Bard was a witness to his will and Cap-
tain Thomas Bard was one of his executors. .Judge
^Vrchil^ald and Captain Thomas Bard were sons of
Richard and Catharine (Poe) Bard. Their history is
given in this volume in the chapter devoted to the
descendants of Richard Bard. .James Bard was mar-
ried at Mercersburg. Pa.. March 24. 1814, to Cath-
arine Glenn, ^^^lether he was the son of Robert
Bard has not been established.

Still another Samuel Bard, perhaps a son of
Samuel and Martha Bard, of Armagh township,
Mifflin county. Pa., left a numerous posterity. This
iiypothesis, unfortunately, is impaired by a tradition
in the family which fixes the place of his birth as in
Berks county, in 1705. The Berks county nativity

A CHRONICLE OF THE BARDS 111

suggests tliat he may have belonged to one of the
numerous German Bard families of eastern Pennsyl-
vania. It is said that he learned the tailoring trade
in his native county, after which he went to Hunt-
ingdon coimty. Pa., where he Avorked for a number
of years, but subsequently removed to New Salem,
Ohio. In 1824, he settled at Centreville, Pa., where
he engaged in the making of windmills. In 1837,
lie built a foundry at Centreville, which was the
first enterprise of its kind between Pittsburg and
Erie. He continued in the foundry business until
his death, except for a brief period in 1843, when it
was conducted by his son, John T. Bard. He was
married in Huntingdon county. Pa., JNIarch 8, 1814,
to Margaret JMcArthur, who was a native of Ireland.
Mr. Bard and his wife were members of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church ; in early life ^Irs. Bard was
a Seceder. Samuel and ^largaret (JNIc Arthur) Bard
had eight children.

2. John T. Bard, died in Centerxille, Pa., in 1878.
He was a prominent citizen of Butler county and a
leading Democrat. He served as })rothonotary of the
county and was a Democratic candidate for Congress
in his district. He was a member of the Democratic
National Conventions that nominated Horatio Seymour
and Samuel J. Tilden, and was a Presidential elector
on the Greeley ticket, in 187^. At the time of his death
he was president of the Centerville Savings Bank. Mr.

He was the father of two sons. Emery A. and Har-
mon Bard, and of two daughters.

The names of other Bards are found scattered
through the Colonial and Revolutionary records
concerning whom it is possible at this time to give
only some incomplete references. One Samuel Bard,
a native of Ireland, where he was born in 17.'U.

1759, and served in the French and Indian AVar.
In the Pennsyh ania Line there were two officers of
the name, '2d I^ieutenant Thomas Bard, of Captain
Calderwood's independent company, of the 11th
Regiment, in 1777, and '2d Lieutenant ^^^ilham
Bard, of the 12th Regiment in 1770. John Bard
was a private in Captain Jolin Spear's company, of
tlie Pennsyhania State Regiment of Foot, in 1777.
Robert Bard was in active service with Captain Pat-
rick Jack's marching company, of the Cumberland
county mihtia, in 1777, and Richard Bard served
with Captain Joseph Culbertson's company the same
year. John Bard ser\ed in the marching company
of Captain \\'ilham Huston, Cumberhmd county
mihtia, in 1778, and Wilham Bard was witli the
same company. Later in 1778, .lohn Bard served
with Captain John JNIcConnell's marching com-
pany. Stephen Bard was a pri\ate in Captain
von Heer's dragoons, in 177->. He was h\ing in
Berks county, in 1835, aged eighty-one. These
are only a few of the Bard names culled from
the records. Some of them can be identified but
most of them are impossible of identification. In
recent years the name has often occurred in the
public records. In 1870, President Grant nominated
Samuel Bard to be governor of Idaho territory, and,
in 1872, he nominated Samuel Bard to be deputy
postmaster at Chattanooga, Tenn. In January, 1890,
Henry D. Bard was appointed postmaster at Brazil,
Ind., by President Benjamin Harrison. In con-
junction with the name of Henry D. Bard, of
Brazil, Ind., the following pedigree, furnished by

T3-A.TIDS of German origin are an important
-"-^ element in the population of Pennsylvania and
jNIaryland, espeeially in Berks, Lancaster, York and
Adams counties. Pa., and Frederick and \\'asiiinoton
counties, Md. Notwithstanding this, the name in
simple form. Bard, appears only once in Rupp's
'•Thirty Thousand Names." The variations are
Bardt, Bart, Barth and Bahrt.

The earliest names among the German Bards
that emigrated to Pennsylvania, were Johannes
Barth. Johan Cxcorg Bard, Zacharias Barth and
Henry Bard. Johannes Barth emigrated on the ship
" William and Sarah," \A'^illiam Hill, master, and
was qualified before the board of the Provincial
Council, at Philadelphia, September 21. 1727.
Whether this .Johannes Barth was identical with
Johan Georg Bard, who was natin-alized in 1734-.5,
it is impossible to say. George Bard, as the latter
came to be called, obtained a warrant for 2.50 acres
of land in Lancaster county. .January 8, 1733. He
lived in I^ampeter township, and died there in
1708. In religion he was a I^utheran, and his name
occurs in one of the naturalization lists of Lancaster
county, immediately above that of his pastor, Johan
Casper Stoever. who emigrated to Pennsylvania on
the ship "James (Goodwill," Da\id Crocket, master,
landing at Philadelphia, Septeml)er 11. 1728. Zach-
arias Barth was a passenger on the ship ".Joyce,"

who conscientiously scruple to take an oath."

George Bard was the ancestor of the Baid family

fjancaster and adjoining counties. He was the father
of three sons, Zacharias, Michael and George, and of
five daughters, the name of only one of whom. Bar-

sides his son John, who wrote his name Beard.

All eastern family of German Bards presents an
interesting example of the illusive difficulties that
confront the Pennsylvania genealogist. It is de-
scended from Jacob Bart, who emigrated to I'enn-
sylvania on the ship •"Hope," of London, hmding
at Piuladelphia. August 28, 1733, and died in Cole-

September 3, 1760, his name was written Bart. Tlie
name of his wife was Dorothea, hut whether she
was Dorothea Eisenman. daughter of Michael and
Catharine Eisenman. is uncertain. Michael Eisemnan
died in Windsor township, Berks county, in 1772.

Another eastern Peimsylvania family of Cierman
origin is descended from Michael Bardt, a native of
the Palatinate, who landed at Philadelj^hia, October
10, 1794. He settled near The Trappe, in what is
now Providence township, Montgomery county. Pa.
He was married in Germany, and was accompanied

because of their appositeness in the discussion of the
ancestry- of the Bards of Carroll's Delight. Neither
the most painstaking research nor the most careful
study of the facts unearthed from the Pubhc Records
of Ireland has so far resulted in the settlement of the
problem. In this work of research and study, none
of the Barde. Baird or Beard families of whom any-
thing could be learned escaped scrutiny. AVhat made
the task especially ditKcult was the fact that for a
long time no name presented itself as one upon
which to concentrate an accumulation of nebulous
knowledge. Even family names, so often useful in
tracing genealogies of ancestors submerged by chimge
of country and lapse of time, were foimd illusive in
their suggestions. It seemed to be fated that the
ancestral BjuxI. or Baird. or Beard, who went fham
England or Scothuid to Ireland, and trom there after
two or three generations tnmsplanted to America
the tbimder of virile stock, should Ije nameless.

The later genenitions of many American families
have lost the names of their emigrant ancestors. It
was so with the descendants of Archibald Beard, of
Carroll's Delight. Even a Pennsylvania genealogist
of some authority, the late Dr. ^Villiam Henry Egle.
called him Bernarti Bard in a biography of his son

Ric'liard. and this false name was accepted as the
true one by some of liis great-grandchildren, in spite
of the fact that one of his grandsons and one of his
great-grandsons bore the name of Archibald.

In Ireland, after a faithful search, the Scotch
name of Archibald failed to reveal any comiection
with the Bards of Carroll's Delight, or the Bairds of
Kilhenzie or xVuchmedden. Indeed, it was found in
only one family -that of William Baird, of (xrange,
on the Foyle, in County Tyrone. Hopeful as this
clue seemed, no connecting links could be discovered.
The name of the eldest son of Archibald Beard, of
Carroll's Delight, was Hichard. Only one Richard
Beard was found in Ireland in the ancestral period.
This is the Hichard that went to Ireland, about 1630.
under Francis Bleimerhasset, an English undertaker
in the barony of Lurg, County Fermanagh. He was
still living in 1(5.59, when he owned an estate in the
parish of Galloon, which was partly in County Mono-
ghan and partly in Comity Fermanagh. At that
time the people on his estate were eleven in munber,
but no trace has been found of his posterity.

Richard Bard's first-born — the son that was killed
by the Indians in 1758 was named .lohn Bard.
This fact suggested to the compiler of this Chronicle
an iiuiuiry into the history of the John Bairds in the
counties of ^Antrim and Down who were possible
ancestors of Archil)ald Beard. The earliest of these
was the Rev. .lohn Baird, or Beard, who went to Ire-
land in 1G42 as chaplain of Colonel Campbell's
Scotch regiment, and preached before the first Irish
Presbytery at Carrickfergus. He was ordained niin-

A C'HUOMCLK or THE BARDS 1;J7

ister at Dervock. hut later he returned to Seotland.
His descendants are known and consequently his
name nujst he eliminated from the ancestral list. The
Rev. John Baird. of Derxock. was followed to Ire-
land hy a ninnl)er of Johns in the latter half of the
seventeenth century, among whom were several
heads of families, 'i'he surname Baird is adopted as
a uniform spelling in this j)lace. hut in the documents
in tlie Record Office of the Four Courts. Duhlin. it
is as often written Beard as Baird. Among these
were John Baird. a merchant, probahly in Belfast, in
107*2, as appears by a Bill in Clianccry. dated Novem-
ber .'J. 1(»77: John Baird. parish of Derryloran,

dence not gi\en, whose wife Eleanor obtained letters of
administration on his estate. May 0. 1717; John Baird
(Barde). of Dromore parish. Covmty Down, whose
will was proved June 22. 1720; and John Baird. of
Skeog townland. Dromore parish. Comity Down,
whose will was proved July 4, 17'34. In none of these
families was any ancestral claim found to be probable.
Richard Bard's second st)n. the eldest born after
Mrs. Bards return from capti\ ity, was named Isaac.
Isaac Bards younger brother. Judge Archil)ald Bard,
named one of his sons Isaac, and his uncle. ^Villiam
Bard, the founder of Bardstown. Ky.. also gave the
name of Isaac to his youngest son. Thus it is seen
that Isaac was a family Christian name in this Bard
family. At the same time that Archibald Beard, the
emigrant ancestor of this family, owned and con-

138 THE BARD FAMILY

ducted a mill in Haniiltonbaii township, York, now
Adams county. Pa., Isaac Baird, was a miller in
Broadisland parish, County Antrim. Ireland. This
may be merely a coincidence, but even as a coinci-
dence it is worthy of being placed upon record in
this place. Broadisland parish, now known as Tem-
plecorran. is situated on Lough Larne, on the road
from Belfast to Larne, five miles northeast of Carrick-
fergus. Its situation increases the importance of the
coincidence of Isaac Baird"s residence there in 1703
and earlier, as will be shown hereafter. At that time
Isaac Baird was evidently an old man. as he was dis-
posing of his leases in the parish.

It is, however, to .ludge Archibald Bard, second
son of Richard Bard after the retiu'n of Mrs. Bard
from captivity, and grandson and namesake of Archi-
bald Beard, of Carroll's Delight, that we owe the only
real clue to the ancestry of the family that has yet
been found. On the Hyleaf of an old book, he left a
brief record of his lineage in scriptural form, beginning
with himself: "Archibald Bard, which was the son of
Richard, which was the son of Archibald, which was
the son of David, which was the son ot William." As
regards these additional names traditional usage has
been followed in the families of the descendants of
Ai-chibald Beard. The emigrant ancestor's second son
was AN'illiam, and his youngest son was David. ^V\\-
liani Bard had a son named David, and one of the elder
David Bard's grandsons was William. Richard Bard
also gave the name of William to one of his sons,
who died in childhood. Thus we see the law of family
Christian names preserved througli three generations.

A CHRONICLE OF THK HARDS 139

The names of William Heard and David Beard
appear in juxtaposition only in the northeastern par-
ishes of County ^\ntrim. Their names appear in con-
junction in 1(>(50 in a hearth money roll of Glenarm,
in Carncastle parish. County Antrim, for one hearth
each. This parish of Carncastle, or Castle-Cairn, is
situated on the shore of the North Channel, which
forms its eastern boundary, and upon the road from
Lame to Glenarm and the royal military road from
Belfast to the Ciiants' Causeway. It is only three
miles northwest by north from Larne, and within
easy reach of the parish of Broadisland or Temple-
corran. in which Isaac Baird was livin|>- half a century
later. It is fully within the line of reasonable possi-
bility that William Beard, of the Hearth Money Roll,
was the father of David, and that David Beard was
the father of Archibald Beard, of Carroll's Delight.
This assumption is met, howe\-er, by some confiicting
but, perhaps, not irreconcilable facts. In 17'24, David
Beard ser\'ed as a delegate to the General Synod of
Ulster at Dungaimon with the Rev. James Creighton,
Presbyterian minister at Glenarm. Was he the David
Beard of the Hearth Money Roll ol" KKiOi' It is pos-
sible, but it seems inilikely. In 1710, when John
Beard died at Cilenarm, the administration bond of
his widow Ellinor was signed by l)a\id Beard and
James \Vilson. This DaA'id was probably a son of
John and Ellinor Beard, of Glenarm. and the Presby-
terian elder of IT'i-l. In 17'2'2. a David Beard died in
the parish of Donegore, in the barony of Upper
Antrim, County Antrim. This parish is a few miles
east bv north of the town of /Vntrim. .lane Beard,

140 THE BARD FAMILY

his widow, was his administratrix. Her sureties were
^VilliHm and Itobert Beard. ])rol)ably her sons. \A'il-
Hani Heard died in tlie j)arish of Ballyeaston. near
Ballyclare, county Antrim, in IT-i'-i. and Hol)ert
Beard in Done^ore parish in 174(i, Martha Beai-d
being his administratrix. That WiUiam and Robert
Beard were brotliers is indicated by the fact that
Rol)ert was William's administrator, and that they
were of the (ilenarm family is suggested if not
proved by the coincidence that the administration
bonds of both John Beard of (ilenarm, and David
Beard, of Donegore, were witnessed by the same per-
son, ^ViUiam Carroll. A similar coincidence came in
the next generation, Henry Marmion being the wit-
ness to the administration bonds both of William
Beard, of Ballyeaston, and .lames Beard, of C'reagno-
gan, county Antrim, who died in 1750. leaving a son.
John Beard. That William and Robert, and. per-
haps. .lames Beard were brothers of Archibald Beard,
of Carroll's Delight, is probable but "not proven. '

James Baird. a grandson of Elder David Beard,
lived at Glenarm until 190.5. when he died at a very
advanced age. It was his belief that if Archibald
Beard, of Carroll's Delight, belonged to the (Tlenarm
family he was married not at (ilenarm but at Coal
Island. Mr. Baird could give no explanation of this
belief, but it is often found in the vague traditions of
families that latent memories of migration exist long
after all actual knowledge of them has been obliter-
ated. The truth of .lames Baird's belief can be sup-
ported by probal)ilities. even if it can not be proved.

oojil field, on the roads from Dungannoii to Bulliii-
deny and from I>urgan to Stewartstown. It is noted
for a canal three miles in length from the river Black-
water, which it joins near Lough Xeagh. In this con-
nection it is noteworthy that John Dren and George
Littell, two of the sureties on the bond of John
Beard, as administrator of his father, James Beard, of
Creagnogan, were both of the parish of Killead,
which is situated four and a half miles south of the
town of Antrim, on the road to Lurgan. and for eight
miles on the west is bounded by Lough Xeagh. Thus
we see that this family of the Beards of Ulster was
scattered from the North Sea to tlie Blackwater. The '
importance of this fact will be all the more manifest
when we come to discuss the marriage of Archibald
Beard in the Potter Sketch in "The Bard Kinship."

It is not improbable that the father of AVilliam
Beard, of the (ilenarm Hearth Money Roll of 1669,
was Da\ id Bard, of Island Magee. In the so-called
"Depositions of 1641" there are abstracts of the
examination of a number of persons, including Kath-
arine Bard, wife of David, concerning the murder of
Phelemy McGee and his family in Island Magee. in
one <jf which it is said that after INIcCtCC had been left
for dead he was sheltered by David Beard, but that
he was killed the next day. From this David Bard or
Beard the family name of David has been preser\ ed
in the Beard family of County Antrim until the
present time. There is a David Baird who keeps a
public house in Ballywee. but unfortunately lie knows
nothing of his ancestors. Ballywee is in Kilbride
parish, adjoining Donegore. .lames Baird owns New-

and his brother. John Baird, lives in Hallywee. John
Hairds aneestors ha\e been settled at Hallywee for
fully a eentury and a half as lie found, in pullin"' down
an old building, a stone with F. li. (Franeis Haird)
and 1709 on it. This stone he has built into the pillar
of his avenue gate. John Haird knows nothing about
his family, exeept that they eanie from Ayrshire in
Scotland at the time of the Plnntation of I 'Ister.
Besides these Hairds there is a Widow Haird at
Craighall. in Donegore j)arisli. whose son. David
Baird. is a small fanner. The widow and her son live
in a small thatched cottage. They know nothing
about their history, except that the family has been
at Craighall for several generations and came there
from near Xewmills, in the borders of Donegore
parish. This accords in some measure with the tradi-
tions of the Hairds of (irange, in County Tyrone.
Mr. Andrew Haird, the present owner of Aughter-
moy. near Dunamanagh, told the compiler of this
"Chronicle" in 1!K)2 that his family was at Creighcor
before going to the Foyle. ^^'hether he meant
Craighall or Creagnoghan or some other place it is
impossible to conjecture in view of the mar\elous
orthograjihy of the names of places in Ireland.

As to the ancestry of the Bards of Cai-roll"s
Delight, nothing that is certain is known; the fore-
going speculations are gi\en not as a settlement of
the question but as facts and conjectures that may
aid in future research.

A RCHIBALD BEAllD, the eiiiiivnmt ancestor
-^^^ of the Bards of •'Carroll's Delight," was a
son of David Beard, and a grandson of William
Beard. He was probably born in County Antrim,
Ireland, and was presumably of Scotch antecedants.
Among his possible Scottish forebears was X'N^illiam
Baird, of Ballateur, parish of Lewrie, Dunbarton-

trim, Ireland, before Archibald Beard's emigration,
togetlier with a discussion of his ancestry, are given
in the last cliapter of '"A Chronicle of the Bards."

In Scotland tlie family sm-name has been written
Baird for many generations. In Ireland, for a century
and a half after the Plantation it was oftener written
Beard than Baird. The American family, whose
genealogy follows, has adopted the uniform spelling
— Bard — , but Archibald, the emigrant ancestor,

144 THE BARD FAMILY

when he wrote his own name, but it was otteii Haird,
or Beard, when his name was written l)y others.
Tlie later orthograj)hy was in faet only a return
to the earlier. From the thirteenth to the sixteenth
century the customary spelling was Bard, or Barde.
The name was Bard on the Ragmans Roll. In
Maybole. the modern Bairds were "the sept of the
Bardes." WHien writing came into general use the
ortlu)graphy of family names assumed eccentric
forms. The sim])le name Bard became Biard and
Bierd in the Public Records as well as Baird and
Beard ; it was sonietimes written Berd instead of
Bard. Such variations in the spelling of a family
name, easily imderstood at the time of their use,
could not fail to result in obscurity and doubt after
the lapse of many years. With the descendants of
^Vrchibald Beard the return to the simpler form of
the name had serious results, and for a while the
emigrant ancestor was an unknown quantity in the
ecjuation of the family. Indeed, for a long time the
first of the family in ^Vmerica was lost to sight
altogether, and to a stranger was accorded the seat
of honor under the s])rea(ling branches of the
Family Tree.

When the researches that resulted in tiiis history
were first undertaken, the compiler, like an eminent
Irish genealogist. Sir Edmund T. liewley. in another
case similar to this one and. jjcrhaps. akin to it. was
entirely '"free from any preconcei\ed ideas, and in-
deed, from any preliminary knowledge." There were
no traditions among the living Hards that pointed to
Archibald Beard, of " C"arn'>li\ Delight." as their

KARDS OF "CAKUOLLS DELIGHT • lio

emigrant ancestor; indeed, there was no knowledge
that he even had existed. There were no known
family records relating to him. Although it was
afterward found that he had left a numerous pos-
terity, divided into three distinct branches, his de-
scendants had little or no knowledge of each other,
or of their ancestry. In the task of finding the Bard
ancestor and learning his history, the only hope was
in chance references in printed hooks and in scattered
entries in the Public Records.

To make the quest all the more difficult, the late
Dr. William Henry Egle, with the enthusiastic but
indiscriminating zeal of the amateur genealogist,
made an erroneous statement that was not only mis-
leading, but that proved mischievous. In a brief
sketch of Richard Rard, as a member of the Penn-
sylvania Convention that ratified the Federal Con-
stitution. Dr. Egle said that his father, Rernard
Rard. settled and built a mill on Middle Creek, in
what is now Adams county. Pa. Unfortunately, tliis
mistake was printed in an . authoritative historical
journal*, and thus acquired acceptance and vitality
that rendered a mere denial insufficient for its cor-
rection. To coiuiteract the effects of the blunder it
became necessary that the truth in regard to Richard
Rard's ])arentage should be established by proofs
that would be accepted as evidence in a judicial pro-
ceeding in a court of law. These proofs need not be
summed up in this place. They will be found in
almost every line of this history of Archibald Reard.

After his emigration to America, Archil)ald Reard

146 THE BARD FAMILY

settled ill Delaware. In a record of the Hamilton
family, compiled by the late A. Boyd Hamilton, of
Harrisburg, it is noted that John Hamilton, the son
of .lohn and Isabella Potter Hamilton, was buried
October 17. IT^l, "at Archibald Beard's, in Miln
Creek Hundred. Newcastle county, Del." Hamilton
came to America on the ship "Dunnegall" with his
brother-in-law. .John Potter, arriving at Newcastle,
September '25, 1741. Isabella Potter Hamilton died
the day after their arrival. The affiliations of the
Hamiltons, Potters and Bards, after the emigration,
were \erv close, but the most exhaustive research
has failed to reveal a complete explanation of their
relationship.

Xotliing lias been ascertained concerning the resi-
dence of iVrchibald Beard in Delaware, beyond the
reference to it made by ^V. Boyd Hamilton, who,
unfortunately, failed to mention the source of his
information. The cause of his removal to "Carroll's
Delight" is easily explained. Among his neighbors in
Miln Creek Hundred was Jeremiah I^ochery, the
ancestor of the I^ochery family of western Pennsyl-
vania. Beard and I.,ochery agreed to join with two
others, John ^Vitherow and James McGinley, in the
purchase of a tract of 5.000 acres of land from Daniel
Carroll, of Duddington Manor, in Prince Cieorge's
county, Md.. which Carroll had obtained under a
grant from Lord Baltimore. To this tract was gi\en
the name of •' Carroll's Delight." It was in e\erv way
worthy of the name. It is a beautiful sweep of coun-
try between the Sugar Loaf and Jacks Moiuitain. in
the western part of what is now Adams county, Pa.

On llif south and t'ornnno- a part of tlif trat-t is

100 acres. Tiiis tract was surveyed to him Jamiary
18, 1744. His holdings under this and other warrants
comprised an extensive plantation. A deed between
Richard Baird, of Peters township, county of Cum-
berland, and Hugh Dun woody and Samuel Moor,
dated December 22, 1774, on record in York comity,
recites Archibald's warrant for 50 acres in the forks
of Middle Creek, known by the name of Boly JMace,
bearing date about 1702, by virtue of which there
was surveyed and laid out tt) Richard Haird. by
Archibald McClean, Deputy Surveyor, the cjuantity
of 318 acres. This deed is signed Richard Bard.

Hamiltonban township, of which Archibald Beard
was one of the pioneers, was an original township of
York county, at its creation, in 1749. In the early
records of the county its name is often written Ham-
ilton's Bawn. It Was evidently named after Hamil-
ton's Bawn. a \ illage in the parish of Mullaghbrack,
County Arn;agh. Ireland, so-called from the bawn
built in 1(519, by John Hamilton, to whom the
district was granted at the Plantation of lister.
John Hamilton, of the Bawn, was a son of Hans

154 THE BAUD 1 'A:\II I. V

Hamilton, minister of Duiilop. in Ayrshire. Seothind.
and a brother of James Hamilton, first \^isCount
Claneboy. Nearly allied with the Hamiltons of the
Bawn was Captain Hance Hamilton, an early settler
and prominent citizen of York county. Pa., and a
distinguished soldier in the French and Indian War.
Captain Hamilton lived in that part of the original
township of Menallen, York county, that is now
Franklin township, Adams county, which adjoins the
township of Hamiltonban. His influence, no doubt,
was potent in the choice of the name. That Archi-
bald Heard united with Captain Hamilton in giving
the name of Hamiltons Hawn to the township in
which he settled is likely from family affiliations if
not because of actual kinship.

Archibald Beard also obtained a Proprietary war-
rant. October (>. 1702. for a tract of land in what is
now Quincy township, Franklin county. Pa. This
land he conveyed to his son. William. November 20,
17(i4. and \N'illiam sold it to his brother Bichard,
December 21. 1707. The deeds, which are on record
in Franklin county, are only noteworthy for the
variations in the spelling. ^Archibald signing his name
Beard and \Villiam signing his Baird. When Richard
sold the land he signed the deed "Richard Bard,"
which became the accepted spelling. This tract was
afterward claimed by .Folm Toms, who owned the
site of Tomstown, but it was finally acquired by
Samuel Hughes and became part of the Mont Alto
proj)erty. Its exact situation can be determined by
the accompanying draft of a survey made for Samuel
Hughes in 1810. The original siu'xey. according to

BARDS OF " CARROLL S DELIGHT" L55

the declarations of ^^^illiam Bard, was made for his
father by Colonel John Arnistroni^. It must ha\e
been among the surveys destroyed by fire in Colonel
Armstrongs office, in Carlisle.

in this place. This purchase was for land, the location
of which had been lost. Bard consequently accepted

part of the genealogieal search for material for this
history of the Hard family, when it was found to
contain this endorsement, presumably in the hand-
writing of .fudge Crawford: -Archibald Bard, the

tiiis endorsement was penned Archibald Bard, grand-
son of Archibald Beard, was an Associate .Fudge of
Franklin county. It is the only record of the month
and year of the death of the pioneer that has come
down to his posterity, and it is worthy of a place,
side by side, with .fudge Bard's genealogy of the
family, written on the fly-leaf of an old book: "Arch-

the son of Archibald, which was the son of David,
which was the son of William. "

hood of the Bhick water. The name of his wife lias
not been ascertained but she may have been a sister
of Martha Pottei', wife of Captain John Potter, the
first sheriff of Cumberland county. Pa. There is
reason to believe that she died on "Carroll's Delight "
before the conveyance of Boly Place and the Mill

a cousin, who had come on a visit the evening before;
Hannah McBride, a little girl, and Frederick Fer-
rick, a bound boy. The savages were disco\ ered by
Hannah ]McBride, who was at the door. The girl's
warning came too late to enable Bard and Potter to

(lo9l

BARDS OF " CARROLL S DELIGHT" 161

prevent a rush into the house. One Indian directed
a blow at Potter with a cuthiss, but he wrested the
weapon from his enemy's hand and attempted to
strike down the savage with the cutlass. The point
struck the ceiling, which turned the sword so as to
cut only the Indian's hand. In the meantime Bard
seized a horseman's pistol, that hung on a nail, and
snapped it at the breast of one of the Indians, but
there was tow in the pan and it did not go off. See-
ing the pistol the Indians ran out of the house. Dur-
ing this scrinnnage an Indian at the door shot at
Potter, but only wounded him in one of his little
finger.

Although the door of the house was closed after
the Indians ran out there was really no hope for the
little garrison. The roof of the cottage was thatched,
and could be easily fired. There was plenty of mill
wood near at hand that could be piled against the
iiouse to put it in a blaze. The supply of powder
and lead at hand was exceedingly meagre. The num-
ber of Indians in the attacking party was so gi-eat as
to make the contest a ^-erv imequal one. These con-
ditions disposed the beleagured inmates to surrender
on a promise that their lives should be spared. After
the surrender the house was pillaged and the mill
burned. Two men, Samuel Hunter and Daniel Mc-
Manimy. who were working in a field nearby, and a
lad, W^illiam A\'liite, who was on his way to the mill,
were added to the party of captives.

The Indians that captured the Bard family were
Delawares — sa\ages of the most degraded type. For
many years they had been held in subjection by the

162 rilK BARD FAAIILV

Iroquois, by wlioin they were spurned as Avomen.
It was only two years before that they had dared to
leniove the petticoat and declare themselves men.
They were as treaclierous as they were cruel, and all
tlie more bloodthirsty because they had been so long
debarred from killing. In the murder of their pris-
oners they were, perhaps, not different from other
Indians, but the killing of infants before the eyes of
their mothers seems to have been a special attribute
of Delaware ferocity. The war parties that desolated
tlie Conococheague \^alley were especially addicted
to the practice, and the band of savages that pushed
across the Blue Ridge and captured the Bard family
c-omprised some of the most debased Avarriors of a
debased nation. In spite of their promises to their
captives they had gone only a short distance from
the dismantled house and burning mill when they
killed Thomas Potter. The place where Potter was
nuudered is still pointed out by people living in the
neighborliood. A large tree, surrounded by other
giants of the forest, marks the spot. A great change
has been wrought in the landscape since that fatal
morning a century and a half ago. According to
tradition a copse of young trees grew where now
only one remains to spread its branches over the
ground made sacred by savage ferocity. And the
hand of civilized man has added its touch of utilita-
rian sacrilege to the scene. Between the site of the
house from which the captives were led and the
copse where Potter was tomahawked and scalped
there are now the broken walls of part of an aban-
doned viaduct of the old "Tape NA'orm" railroad.

The Potter Oak.

Ui THE HAlil) FAMILY

Beyond tlie Memorial Tree, whieh may fall any day
from the blows of the woodman's axe, are a rude foot
bridge and traees of a straggling rail fence. Only the
Sugar I^oaf can be expected to remain from age to
age to testify to the pathetic truth of the description
contained in two stanzas of a quaint ballad, written
by Kichard Bard and preserved by his descendants :

Not far, liowever, did we go

Ere came we to a hill.
Where they our cousin Potter's blood

Inhuuianly did spill.

Tho.se hardened savages did act
As though they did no wrong.

And in his head a tomahawk left,
And brought his scalp along.

On the South mountain, three or four miles from
the mill, one of the Indians sunk the spear of a tom-
ahawk in the child's breast, and. after repeated blows,
scalped it. In Richard Bard's ballad is this descrip-
tion of the inhuman nun-der of the infant :

Out of my arms my child they took.

As we along did go,
And to the helpless babe they di.l

Their cruel malice show.

Both head and lieai-t the tomahauk ])iercetl.

In order him to slay.
And then they robbed him of his clothes.

And brought his scalp awav.

Heckewekler relates a similar incident of the
French and Indian War as having occurred on the

BARDS OF "CARROLLS DELIGHT" 165

Conococheague, in which GHkhickan, a famous Del-
aware chief, was the murderer. This man was emi-
nent as a warrior and a counsellor, and as an orator
he was never surpassed among the Indians. Among
the captives of one of his war parties was a woman
named Rachel Abbott, with a sucking babe at her
breast. Annoyed by the incessant crying of the child.
Glikhickan sunk his tomahawk into the innocent
creature, wliile the mother, in an agony of grief and
with her face suffused with tears, vainly begged that
its life might be spared. Tliis wretch afterward l)e-
came a model Christian Indian, and Heckewelder re-
lates, witii Mora\ian simplicity, tiiat the woman "was
kindly treated and adopted, and some years afterward
married to a Delaware chief of respectability, by
whom she had several diildren, who are now living
with the Christian Indians in Upper Canada."

Tlic Indians who made the foray upon Bard's
mill, witli their prisoners, moved over the South
Mountain and passed tin-ough the Mont ^Vlto Gap
into the Cumberland Valley. The journey is a toil-
some one even now. Some of the gorges are still
almost impenetrable. Many of the declivities retain
the wild grandeur of 1758. For the men among the
captives the tramp from Bard's mill to Mont Alto
must have been painful, bringing them iumgry, foot-
sore and weary to the broad valle}' that they were yet
to traverse before they could obtain a few hours of
such repose as Indian warriors vouchsafed to their
prisoners. For Mrs. Bard, stricken with a mother's
grief over the death of her child at the hands of the
most inhuman of men, the tortures of these first few

Hi() rHK BARD FAMILY

liours must have been such as few women liave ever
endured, either before or since. What was to follow
makes hei- one of the heroines of histor}-.

After leaving Mont Alto the course of the sa\ -
ages northward bore toward the east. They passed
near the head of the Falling Spring and crossed the
Conococheague below Scotland. The reasons for
detour are apparent. Fort I^oudon was occupied by
a strong garrison, commanding both the C4ap al)o\ e
Mercersburg and the entrance into Path \^alley.
The people of the Antietain and the East Conoco-
cheague below Chambeisburg were alert, and they
would quickly ha\ e carried word of the presence of
Indians to the fort. Fort Chambers was in the direct
line of march of the returning foe. but the knowledge
of Colonel Chambers" famous swivels had inspired a
healthy fear among the sa\'ages. Under the circum-
stances the farthest way round was the nearest way
home for the marauders. In their eagerness to reach
the Kittochtinny Mountains before night they were
not disposed to risk a battle. Even the time neces-
sary to make captives was inopportune that day.
This is shown in the experience of Albert Torrence.
Torrence hved near the bend of the Conococheague.
northwest of the village of Scotland and southeast
of Greenvillage. The Indians, with their captives,
passed his house after crossing the creek. Seeing him
out they shot at him without effect, but refrained
from pmsuing him or attacking his house. .Judge
Hard, in his " Narrative of the Captivity of Richard

Bard." speaks of him as IIall)ert T. . There

can be no doubt of his identity, however, as iiis plan-

HARDS OF "CARROI.LS DELIGHT" 167

tation on the Conococheague was on the hne of
march chosen by the savages at the place where it is
certain that they crossed the stream. He died in
1770. An ilhistrat ion of Judge Bards pecuhar spell-
ing is found in its apphcation to liis son Albert, 1st
lieutenant of Captain John Rea's company, 8th bat-
talion, Cumberland County Associators, who is called
Halbert Torrence in the •'Pennsylvania Archives,"
as well as Albert.

It is not likely that the march of the Indians from
tlie crossing of the Conococheague at Torrence's was
in a direct line to old Fort McCord, where they
arrived late in the evening. There was a road at the
time, since known as the "Old Loudon Road," that
could have been utilized for the greater part of the
distance, but this road was the main Iiighway for
trav'el westward and to Fort Cliambers and the Poto-
mac. In spite of these apparent dangers, the Indians
and their weary prisoners probably passed over it, turn-
ing from it to enter the Gap above McCord's Fort.

Fort McCord Avas situated near Bossert's Mill, in
Hamilton township, Franklin coimty, on land now
owned by Squire Bossert. Its exact site was six
rods south of Mr. Bossert's barn, and three or four
rods east from the public road leading from Fpper
Strasburg to St. Thomas. It was a private fort built
in 1755-.5(), by William McCord, who was a settler
on the Bossert land befoi'e 174.5. It was built of
heavy timber sunk deeply into the ground, but it
was already in ruins when Richard Bard and iiis wife
were c-onducted past it on that ^April exening in
17.58. In spite of its strength it was captured and

168 THE BARD FAMILY

burnt by the Indians. April i, 175(). and all its
inmates, twenty-seven in number, were killed and
scalped. At that time Dr. Jamison, surgeon of Col-
onel .Tohn Armstrong's battalion, was murdered in
the fort or its neighborhood. Three parties went in
pursuit of these Indians, one of which, under Captain
vVlexander Culbertson, overtook them at Sideling
Hill and was disastrously routed. Captain Culbertson
being among the killed.

The gap above Bossert's, now known as Yankee
Ciap. had been the objective point of the all day
tramp over the South Mountain from Bard's Mill,
and across the Cumberland \'alley. For a first day's
march the distance was very great. As the bird fiies,
it Avas fully thirty, and by the detour, scarcely fewer
than forty miles. By a fire in the mountains, which
their captors accorded them at their first encamp-
ment, the weary and famished captives could not fail
to sleep the sleep of exhaustion. To a day of horrors
and pain were added other sufferings and horrors,
especially for the Bards, husband and wife, that only
the ingenuity of savagery could devise. Richard
Bard in his ballad thus describes the first night of
the captivity:

But forty miles now liaviiig gone,

Tliis (lay is at an end ;
They halt, and here to stay this night

Is wliat they do intend.

And here, the fire and iis between,

Our infant's scalp they place;
Thinking that while we \iewed the same,

Our sorrows would increase.

BARDS OF "CARROLLS DELIGHT"^ 169

The prisoners were bound for the night, but with
tlie dawn of the following morning they were
unbound and again started on tlieir painful journey.
They passed through Yankee (Tap into Bear ^"alley:
from there into upper Horse \'alley, and across the
second mountain into I'ath \"alley. Even at this day
this part of the Kittochtinny range is exceedingly
rugged and almost inaccessible. Bear A'alley has
always been especially forbidding. In 18.50, it was
visited by "Pilgrim" of one of the Chambersburg
papers. " ^^^hat a dismal place this Bear \"aUey is,"
he wrote. " The sun is ashamed to show his hand-
some face in some parts of it. It seems fitted for
nothing I know of but the raising of niglit owls for
Whig processions." ^Vhat must it have been like in
April, 1758!

Patli \"alley must liave been crossed in the neigh-
borhood of Carrick. A beautiful valley it is when
clothed with verdure, but even now it is toilsome
enougli if crossed on foot. Here a new danger con-
fronted the captives. The Indians discovered they
were pursued and hurried to the top of the Tuscarora
JNIountain, threatening to tomaliawk their prisoners
if attacked. On the top of the mountain they
stopped to rest. Bard and Himter sat down side by
side. Without any previous warning an Indian simk
a tomahawk into Hunter's head, and after repeated
blows killed and scalped him. This was the third
murder after the capture.

Tlie party did not tarry long on the Tuscarora
Mountain after the mm-der of Hunter, and that night
encamped a few miles north of Sideling Hill. All

170 THE IJAKD FAMILY

day the line of travel was a pathless one, ox er rugged
mountains and dismal \alleys. thick with invder-
growth and coursed by cold and turbid streams that
had to be waded. The only contemporary account of
the sufferings of the captives that day is contained
in three stanzas from Richard Bard's ballad:

Hv ivason of the luiigcl road

Our raimuiit it all toiv.
Aiul down our legs the Mood doth run,

Fiifelt the like before.

Whilst on the dismal road I think.

\\"\\h wondering filled am I,
How it could be that mv |)oor «ife

Could cross those mountains high.

For I myself did almost faint

Under their cruel hands;
liut it was (iod that strengthened us.

Against their hard commands.

This course was a necessity to the Indians. As
has already been shown they could not reach the old
Kittanning trail by way of the Loudon and Cowan's
gaps. They were debarred from the entrance to
these by the fort at the base of Mt. Parnell. Through
them ran the road that had been cut along Sideling-
Hill for Braddock's use in 175.5. The road itself,
even after it was within reach, was impracticable
because parties from the garrison at Fort Loudon
were not unlikely to be encountered at any moment.
It was, therefore, necessary to keep north of the Xex\
Road, but not so far north as to be reported to

BARDS OF "CARR()Li;S DELIGHT" 171

parties from the garrisons at Fort Lj'ttleton or Fort
Shirley that might chanee to be patrolhiig the old
Indian path. Thus the encampment of the second
night was at a place of comparative safety.

The march of the third day was over the moun-
tains and tin-ough the \alleys near the present
boundary line between Huntingdon and Bedford
counties, and across the rich \alley, drained by the
Raystown branch of the Juniata into Blair's (iap.
Tliis day half of Bard's face was painted red, showing
that a council had been held and that his captors
were equally divided on the question of putting him
to death. Up to this day the Indians were only bent
upon killing. It is a sign of the softening influence
of safety even upon the minds of sa\ages that
now that the forts of the Juniata were behind them
and Fort Bedford far to the south of them some
of Richard Bard's captors were willing to spare
his life.

On the fourtli and tifth days the marcli westward
was over the Alleghenies. Mv. Bard, in his ballad,
left a graphic, if homely, picture of the Indian war-
halloo in the Allegheny hills, on the fourth day.

As we ascend this lofty hill.

No wonder we're amazed
To hear the awful sound that's made

Wlien war-halloos were raised.

For every scalp and prisoner gained,

A loud halloo they make :
As if it were their great delight

A human life to take.

172 THK BARD FAMILY

Tliat night a snow fell and as the prisoners were
not permitted to approach the tire as they hiy on the
mountains, their condition made it a night of great
distress. The dawn brought no surcease of suffering :

AVhen in the morning we arise,

"March on" by them we're told;

But this to us is misery great.
Our feet being sore and cold.

On the fifth day Stoney Creek, in the AUeglienies.
was reached. A\'hile crossing the creek. Bard's hat.
which had been appropriated by the savage that
had him in charge, was blown from the Indian's
liead. and the Indian went some distance down
stream to recover it. ^^'^hen he returned Bard was
across the stream. This incensed the Indian, who
at once began to beat his prisoner with his gun,
nearly disabling Bard from traveling any farther.
He was, besides, guilty of another offense, tlie story
of which he relates in his ballad:

At Liuuvl Hill we found a crock
Both high and swift the stream,

So by the hand I took my wife.
To help her o'er the same.

But for this love I showed to her

At me they're in a rage.
And nothing else but me to beat.

Their anger can assuage.

So great the strokes the cruel foes

Have given to me here.
That for ten days the bruises do

Exceeding plain appear.

I'Voni truth I will not stray.

Two i)t'ar skins, very large indeed,

And one bed quilt also.
Two blankets and six |)ounds of meat.

All on my back nuist go.

Because of his disabled condition and almost cer-
tain death in the near futiu'e. Bard then determined
to try to make his escape at the first opportunity.
Mrs. Bard had been kept separated from her hus-
band during- the whole of the five days' journey.
That evening, however, they were permitted to assist
each other in plucking a turkey. This afforded him
a chance to conununicate his design to his wife, and
as it turned out she was able to assist him in getting
away unobserved. A favorite divertiseinent of the
Indians in camp was to dress some of their munber
in the clothes of their female captives. On this
evening one of the captors was anuising the others
by dressing himself in Mrs. Bard's gown. W'^hiie
this amusement was in progress, Mr. Bard was sent
to the spring near the encampment for water. Just
as he readied the spring Mrs. Bard began to take
part in the fim and succeeded in concentrating the
attention of the Indians upon the gown so completely
tliat they forgot all about their prisoner. These
precious moments were utilized by Richard Bard
in getting into the bush. Presently a cry was raised
from another fire "Your man is gone." A rush was

174 THE BARD FAMILY

made for the spriiiir. and one of the Indians, picking
up the can in which Bard was to l^ne brought the
water, cried out — "Here is the quart, but no man."
A search for the escaped prisoner was at once be-

it was unsuccessful.

The spring from which Ricliard Hard escaped
is still pointed out on the farm of John McGee.
about a mile west of Homer City, in Indiana county.

When the fruitless search for Bard was abandoned
the Indians resumed the march with their prisoners.
They went down the Stoney creek to the Allegheny
river, and thence to Fort Duquesne. They remained
at the fort only one night, and then went to an In-
dian town about twenty miles down the Ohio, where
Mrs. Bard was severely beaten by the squaws. From
this place they took their prisoners to "Cususkey,"
— Kaskaskunk. on the Beaver. This was Glik-
hickans town. Here INIcManimy was put to death
after being liorribly tortured. The two boys and
the girl, Hannah McBride, were detained here, but
Mrs. Bard was sent to another town to become an
adopted relation in an Indian family, and never saw
them again imtil they were liberated. In every town
she entered, JNIrs. Bard was immercifully beaten by
the squaws, and even after she was taken into the
council house two Indian women entered and struck
her. It was contrary to usage to strike a prisoner
in the council-house and the warriors were angered
at these acts of the squaws.

After the women had been relinked for their dis-
orderly conduct, a chief took JMrs. Bard by the hand

BARDS OF "CARK()Li;S DELIGHT" 175

and delivered lier to two men to take the place of
a deceased sister. She had not been with her new
relations a month when they determined to go to
the head waters of the Susquehanna. Tliis was a
painful journey for a woman in her condition. She
had not yet recovered from tlie fatigue of tlie long
marcli over the mountains that followed the capture,
and was still suffering from the extraordinary strain
to which she had been subjected. Her feet were sore
and her limbs swollen. Fortunately, for her, one of
Iier adopted brothers gave her a horse, which enabled
her to make the start with comparative comfort ; but,
one of the pack-horses dying, she Avas compelled to
surrender hers to supply its place. Upon arriving at
lier destination, after having traveled, in all, about
.500 miles, she was o\'ercome by a severe fit of sick-
ness, the result of fatigue, and cold and himger. For
two months she lay ill -without much prospect of
recovery. She had no companion in whom she could
confide, or who could sympathize with her in her
distresses. The cold earth in a miserable cabin was
her bed. A blanket was her only covering. Her
only food was boiled corn. She thought herself on
the verge of dissolution ; but in spite of discourage-
ment and suffering she recovered, and began to look
forward with hope and longing to her rescue from
captivity.

Soon after her recovery she met a capti\e woman,
whom she had previously known, who. like Rachel
Abbott, had an Indian husband and had borne him
a child. From this woman she learned that as soon
as their captive women learned to speak the Indian

176 THE BARD lAMILV

tongue they were obliged to accept an Indian hus-
band, with death as the only alternative. This in-
formation determined Mrs. Bard never to learn the
language of the Delawares, and she persisted in lier
resolution during the entire period that she remained
a captive.

Richard Bard, after his escape, managed to elude
his pursuers by concealing himself in a hollow log.
The tradition is that his place of concealment was
McKonkey's cliff, at the bridge below Homer.
AVhen the Indians, who were in search of him, had
gone by and were out of hearing, he resumed his
Hight in a different direction. His situation was per-
ilous, and because of his condition he made his way
with great difficulty. Soon after beginning his return
he came to a mountain overgrown with laurel and
covered with snow. He was almost exhausted. He
was without food, except a few buds, plucked from
the trees as he went along. His shoes were worn out.
The country was very rough, and in majiy places the
ground was co\'ered with poisonous briars which
lacerated his feet and poisoned the wounds. His feet
and legs became swollen, and in his weak condition,
impeded as he was by the snow which lodged on the
leaves of the laurel, he was rendered imable to walk
and was compelled to creep on his hands and knees
imder tlie branches. Besides, he feared that the In-
dians might still be in piu'suit of him, and would be
able to find his tracks in the snow. In spite of the
danger of discovery, it became imperative that he
should lie by until his feet healed sufficiently to
enable him to walk. On the fifth day after his escape.

BARDS OF "CARROLL'S DELIGHT" 177

as he was creeping about on his hands and knees in
search of buds and herbs to appease his hunger, he
found a rattlesnake, which he killed and ate raw. In
the ballad quoted above he gave a description of
these five days of starvation and suffering in the
wilderness:

Tliough I'm not able now to walk,

I creep upon iiiy knees:
To gather herbs that I may eat,

My stomach to appease.

A rattlesnake, both flesh and bone.

All but the head I eat;
And though ''twas raw, it seemed to me
Exceeding pleasant meat.

By using a thorn as a needle. Bard was able to
puncture the festering wounds in his feet and thus
allay the swelling. Then, tearing up his breeches, he
bound up his feet as well as he could, and in this
forlorn condition he resumed his journey, limping
along with great pain. He had no alternative except
to die where he was. His condition at this time is
illustrated by a delusion that was the residt of the
excitable state of his nerves. Soon after resuming his
journey he was startled by tlie sound of a drum. He
called as loud as he could but there was no answer.
His imagination had played him a trick.

Just before dark on tlie evening of the eighth day
after his escape JNIr. Bard came to tlie Juniata. His
only way of crossing the stream was by wading it,
which, because of his lameness, was accomplished
with great difficulty. The night was cold and very

178 TIIK HARD FAMILY

dark. His clotlies were wet. In his Ijeminibed con-
dition he was afraid to he down lest he should perish.
^^"earied and hime as he was lie determined to pur-
sue his journey, but dvn'ing the night he was
attracted by the sight of a fire, apparently abandoned
the day before, probably by a party of settlers who
were in pursuit of the savages. Here he remained
until morning, when he discovered a path leading in
the direction of the settlements. Besides a few buds
and berries his food up to this time had consisted
only of rattlesnakes, of which altogether, he had
killed and eaten four. Although he had found the
first one '* exceeding pleasant meat." one is tempted
to believe that this unusual diet was beginning to
pall upon him. But fortimately. he was nearing the
end of his journey. He was destined, however, to
undergo one more alarm before he reached a place of
safety. At a turn in the path, in the afternoon, he
suddenly found himself face to face with three
Indians. They proved to be friendly, and conducted
him to Fort Lyttleton. which he reached on the ninth
day after his escape. These Indians were C'herokees,
who had come from N'irginia to assist in the defense
of the frontier of Pennsylvania and Maryland.

In April, 17.58, forty of these Indians arrived at
Fort Loudon barefooted, without match-coats and
without arms. Colonel Armstrong wrote to C^over-
nor Denny, calling attention to their destitution and
asking that the Provincial Council provide for them.
The Governor applied to Sir John St. Clair, his
Majesty's quartermaster general, to order the needed
arms and match-coats, and a little leather to make

larly the Cherokees. that he would have nothing to

message to the Assembly asking to be enabled to
supply the needs of the Indians. Whether the Chero-
kees went away saying. "We came to you naked,

but it is certain that three of tlie partv succored
Richard Bard.

At Fort Lyttleton, Bard was among friends. He
remained at the fort until he had sufficiently recov-
ered from the fatigue and exposure of his captivity
and escape to be able to resume liis jouiiiey, but
after his return he was reported in tlie contemporary
newspapers as ill at his home near his father's on
Marsh Creek.

"Richard Beard."' (George Stevenson. Esq., of
York, wrote to Secretary Peters, May 7, 1758, "who
was capti\ated last month from Marsh Creek is

"I have sent up to have liis exaniiiiatioii taken, or
to have him hroiitifht clown to Sir John, on Thursday,

On the r2th of May, 1758, Mr. Bard made an
affidavit before Mr. Ste\'enson, in which he told the
story of the abduction and murders. The atfida\it was
as follows :

The Aftiniuition of Richard Beard, of Haiiiilton\s Bane
Township, Afred twenty-two years, wlio saitli, that hi-.
Habitation being at tlie Foot of the South Mountain,
on the Southeast side thereof, on Thursday, the thir-
teenth day of April last, about 7 o'clock in the morning.
He, this Deponent, was in liis house with Katharine his
Wife, John liis child, about seven months old, Thomas
Potter, son of the late Captain John Potter, Esq.,
Deceased, Frederick I'Vi'rick, his Servant, about fourteen
Years of age, Hannah McBride, aged about Eleven
Years, William White, about nine Years old; in his
Field were Samuel Hunter and Daniel McMenomy,
Labourers, when a party consisting of nineteen Indians,
came and Captivated Samuel Hunter and Daniel
McMenomy in the Field, and afterwards came to the
dwelling house of this Deponent, and about six of them
suddenly ruslied into the house, and were inunediatelv
driven out by this Deponent and Thomas Potter; the
Door of the house was thrown down by our pressing to
keep the Indians out, and their pressing to come in,
they shot in the house at us, and shot away Thomas
Potter's little finger. We then had time to know their

took us about Sixty Rods up the Mountain, where their
Match Coats lay, for they were nai<ecl except the Britch
Clouts, Legins, ]Mocasins and Caps; then they brought
the two men that had been at Work in the Field, and
in about half an hour, they orderVl us to March, seting
me foremost of the Prisoners. We marched one after
another at some Distance ; at about seven miles they
kiird my Child, which I discovered by seeing its Scalp,
about twelve o'clock I saw another Scalp, which I knew
to be Thomas Potters. I have since been informed that
they killed him at the Place where their Match Coats
lay. Fryday, the 14th, about twelve oVlock, they mur-
der^d Samuel Hunter on the North Mountain, they
drove us over the Allegheny Mountain a day and an
half, and on Monday Night about ten o'clock, I
escape'd, they having sent me several Times about three
Rods from the fire to bring Water. In nine Nights and
Days I got to Fort Lyttleton, having had no food other
than four snakes, which I killYl and eat, and some Buds
and Roots, and the like; three Cherokee Indians found
me about two miles from Fort Lyttleton, cut nie a
Staff", and Piloted me to the Fort.

In conversation with the Indians during my Captivity,
they informed me that they were all Delawares, for they
mostly all Spake English, one spake as good English as
I can. The Captain said he had been at Philadelphia
last Winter, and another said he had been at Phila-
delphia about a year ago; I ask\l them if they were not
going to make Peace with the English? The Captain
answered, and said they were talking about it when he
was in Philadelphia last Winter, but he went away and

left them. „

\\'itli his wife in captivity Ricluud Bard could not
remain quietly at his home, but devoted most of his
time to long and dangerous journeys in quest of
information concernino- her. In the autunm of 1758,
after the capture of Fort Duquesne by the expedition
under General Forbes, he went to Fort Pitt, as the
fortress was called after its capture, and he was there
at the time of Forbes' endeavors to make a treaty
with the neighl)oring Indians.' In the Indian encamp-
ment, on tlic opposite side of the river, was a number
of the Delawares who had been concerned in his cap-
ture. To these he made himself known, but they pre-
tended not to remember him. They finally admitted,
however, that they were among his captors. They
said they knew nothing of his wife, but promised to give
him some information upon his return the next day.
Bard was followed to the fort by a young man. who
had been taken by the Indians when a child, by whom
he was advised not to return to the camp, as his cap-
tors had determined to kill him for making his escape
if he returned. He took the hint and did not go back.

' In his "Narrative of the Captivity of Richard Bard," Judge Bard says :
"Some time after my father's return home, lie went to fort Pitt, whic-li was
then in the hands of the EngHsh, and a number of Indians being on the
opposite side of the river, about to form a treaty, he one evening went over,
to make inquiry concerning my mother." General Forbes, writing to Gov-
ernor Denny immediately after the occupation of Fort Duquesne. said : ".\s
the conquest of this country is of the greatest consequence to the adjacent
provinces, by securing the Indians our real friends for their own advantage,
I have therefore sent for their head people to come to me, when I think, in
few words and in few days to make everything easy." At the same time,
Colimel Bouquet, writing to Chief Justice William Allen in regard to the
boasts of the French commandant, who had retired to Venango, said : "We
would soon make him shift his quarters, had we only provisions, but we are
scarcely able to maintain ourselves here a few days to treat with the neigh-
boring Indians, who are summoned to meet us."

KAUDS OF "CARUOLI/S DKLKni'l"' 18;i

At a Inter period Mr. IJard made a second journey
to Fort Pitt, ^oing with a convoy of wagons as far as
Fort Bedford. There he induced the commanding
officer to secure the consent of the famous Captain
White Eyes to accompany him to Pittsburg. ^Vhite
Eyes subsequently was tlie steadfast friend of the
Moravian missionaries, but his treatment of IJard
shows that at this time he was a wily and treacherous
savage. He consented readily enough to conduct
Mr. Bard to Fort Pitt, but the party had gone only
a few miles when one of the Indians turned off the
roail and brought in a scalp that had been taken that
morning from the head of one of the wagoners.
Farther on some of the Indians again turned off the
road and brought in a number of horses and a keg of
Avhiskey. The Indians then began to drink, and some
of them became very drunk. The "first war captain
of the Dela wares." as Loskiel calls \^"hite Eyes, was
soon under the influence of the liquor, and the
natural ferocity of the savage became predominant.
He told Bard that as he had before escaped from his
Delaware captors he would shoot him then, and
raised his gun to take aim. Bard stepped behind a
tree, and kept stepping around it while \\'hite Eyes
followed. This afforded much amusement to the
Indians until a young man twisted the gim out of
the chief's hands and hid it under a log. AN'hite Eyes
then attacked Bard with a large stick, giving him a
blow on the arm that blackened it for weeks. Dur-
ing the attack, an Indian belonging to another nation,
who had been sent on an express to Bedford, came
by. White Eyes asked him for his gun to shoot Bard,

184 THK HAUl) FAMILY

but the Indian refused, as the kiUing would brint^f
on another war. These experiences determined Bard
to make his escape from his escort, and mounting
liis horse he took to the road, expecting every minute
to receive a ball in the back. Fearing pursuit he rode
as fast as his horse could go. and after traveling all
night got to Pittsburg in the morning.

Captain ^^'^hite Eyes was of the Turtle tribe of
the Delawares. and was placed at the head of his
nation. Dm-ing the early years of the Revolution
he was the consistent friend of the Americans. In
this he was opposed by his rival. Captain Pipe, who
was of the Wolf tribe. l*ipe was eager to take up
the hatchet on the western frontier of Pennsylvania,
but White Eyes successfully thwarted his designs
until 1778, when the friendly chief accompanied
General Mcintosh's army to Tuscoraw^as, and taking
the smallpox, died. After that Captain Pipe's policy
had ascendancy over the Delawares, except with the
Moravian Indians. Upon his death. Pipe declared
that the Great Spirit had probably put \N'hite Eyes
out of the way that his nation might be saved. In
the end the contrary of this proved to be true. After
many years of bitter, and often successful, warfare
against the whites, the Delawares were .ilmost com-
pletely annihilated by"3Iad"' ^Vnthony \Vayne. The
remnant afterward shared in the overthrow of the
Prophet, by General Harrison, at Tippecanoe. In
1818, the Delawares ceded all their land in the State
of Indiana to the United States and went west of
the Mississippi. Later they become incorporated
wath the Cherokee Nation, in Texas and the Indian

BARDS OF "CARROLLS DELIGHT" 185

territory. In 1903, a great-grandson of \Miite Eyes
was in AVashington with a Delegation of the Del-
awares tliat was seeking compensation for infraction
of their rights in Cherokee hinds, where he secured
the friendly interest of Senator Bard, of California,
great-grandson of Richard Bard.

At Pittsburg Mr. Bard found an opportunity to
write to his wife that if her adopted friends would
bring lier in he would give them forty poinids. To
this letter he received no answer, and after an un-
successful attempt to induce an Indian to steal her
away for a reward, he determined to undertake the
dangerous mission himself and to bring her at all
hazards. He accordingly went to Shamokin (Sun-
bury), on the Susquehanna, and thence to the Big
Cherry Trees, where he started along an Indian
path that he knew led to the place of his wife's
abode. He had not gone far when he met a party
of Indians who were bringing her in. Bard told the
Indians he would pay the forty pounds he had
promised by letter when they reached Sunbury. but
they were suspicious, and said that if he got them
among the whites he would refuse to pay them. To
allay their suspicions he told them to keep him as
a hostage, while they sent Mrs. Bard into the town
with an order for the money. This put the savages
into a good humor, and they consented to enter the
town with Bard and his wife, where the ransom was
paid, and she was released after a capti\'ity of two
years and hve months.

An interesting relic of Mrs. Bard's captivity is
still in existence. It is a great horn spoon, made for

Rachel McMean. It is now in the possession of Miss
McMean. who lives at Blue ^Vsh, Ohio. This inter-
esting relic was made of black horn, with a handle
elaborately carved at the top. The handle measures
seven and three-fourths inches to the bowl, and ex-
tends one and three-eighths inches on the bowl's

loui- and one-half inches in length

it is two inches in width across the
top. The bowl is a little o\er half
an inch in depth. It has a large hook
car\ cd out of the horn at the head of
the handle, by which its owner was
accustomed to hang it on the kettle
when not in use. This hook is car-
ried one and three-quarters inches
towards the bowl. The carving of
the handle below the hook is grace-
outline and considering the
rude tools with which it was
done, artistic in execution. It
consists of three headings, with
two interspaces gracefully

eighth inches at the howl, where it is slightly
Hattened. the bowl extending an inch upward
from the place of joint contact with the handle.
Experts declare that the spoon is the largest
and the handle the longest e\ er exhibited in this
country.

After the return of his wife from captixity Rich-
ard Bard purchased a plantation near what is now
the village of W'^illiamson, on the East Concocheague,
wliere he was xisited by one of Mrs. Bard's brothers
by Indian adoption, to whom he had given an invita-
tion when he was at Sunbury to secure her release.
One day the Indian went to a tavern, known as
INIcCorniacks, where he became slightly intoxicated.
^^'hile in this condition one of the notorious Nugent
brothers, of the family of the Conococheague out-
laws, attempted to cut his tlu'oat. Xugent struck a
knife into the Indian's neck, but partly missed his
aim, and only succeeded in cutting the forepart of
the windpipe. The Indian was cared for at ]\Ir.
Bard's house until he recovered, but he was afterward
put to death by his tribe on the pretense that he had
joined the white people.

^^'hen Richard Bard actually settled in what is
now Franklin county is not clear. In the deed of
^Vrciiibald Bard, dated February 19, 1765, conveying
the Mill Place, on Middle Creek, and the tract in

188 THE BAUD FAMILY

"CarroUs Delight" to Richard lie is designated as
still belonging to York county. The deed for the
Quincy township tract, dated December 21, 17()7. is
from \Villiam Bard, of Cumberland county, to
Richard Bard, of York county. But in the narrati\'e
of Arcliibald Bard, son of Richard, it is assumed that
he was already living on the Conococheague, in 1764.
During Pontiacs war, it is said. Mr. Bard removed
his family to the house of his father-in-law, Thomas
Poe. for greater security. One day he returned to
" his own place, about three miles distant," to make
hay. taking only a black girl with him. ^^'llile at
work his suspicions were aroused by the furious bark-
ing of his dog and the attention that the animal gave
to a clump of bushes nearby. Telling the girl that
Indians were near he directed her to run to the
house, and taking up his gun he followed her. About
an hour later, looking from the window of his loft,
he saw Captain James Potter and his company pass
in pursuit of the savages, who that morning had
killed Enoch Brown, the schoolmaster, and the
school children at Brown's school.

During the Revolution Mr. Bard served in Cap-
tain .Joseph Culbertson's marching company imder
the call of July 28, 1777, in the campaign around
Philadelphia, and afterward in the ranging company
of Captain Walter McKinnie on the western frontier.
Captain Culbertson's company marched with Colonel
Arthur Buchanan's battalion of the fifth class, Cum-
berland County militia. No particulars have been
obtained of Mr. Bard's service on the frontier. His
enrollment was with the company of Captain Wil-

BARDS OF "CARROLLS DELIGHT" 189

Cumberland County ^Vssociators.

Richard Bard nexer held any political office
except that of. Justice of the Peace for Peters town-
ship, at the time when the justices were judges of the
county courts. His commission was dated March 15,
17H0. He was, however, a member of the Pennsyl-
vania Convention of 1787, to which the Constitution
framed by the Federal Convention was submitted.
He was an anti-Federalist and refused to sign the
ratification. Subsequently he was a delegate to the
HarrisbiH'g Convention of 1788, in opposition to the
Federal Constitution. Mr. Bard's colleague in the
Convention of 1787 was Colonel John xVUison, who
was an ardent Federalist, and seconded the motion to
ratify, made by Thomas McKean. His opposition to
the Federal Constitution, before and after its ratifica-
tion, had a disastrous effect upon Mr. Bard's political
fortunes. He was sometimes viridently assailed in
the "Franklin Repository," the Federalist organ in
tlie county, during the ne.\t ten years, an echo of
which comes back to us through the following com-
munication, published in the "Farmers' Register,"
the first Republican paper printed in the county:

many years the home of Richard Bard. The house
was burned a few years ago. ^^'hen it was built, or
by whom, has not been ascertained. The early orders
for survey show that the first settler on the Bard
plantation was Hezekiah Alexander. His name
appears on the Cumberland county tax lists for 1751,
but he sul)sequently remo\ed to North Carolina, and
was living in Mecklenburg county in 17H9. This is
proved by a deed from Alexander to Bard, dated

Alexander's warrants for 100 acres was dated August

Bards first survey of 338 aci'es of the Alexander
land was made May 1, 1707, and the tract was resur-
veyed, with alterations, March 28, 1788. It may be
assumed that both the lands within the accompany-
ing draft, and the adjacent lands without, were
included in the Alexander claim.

and the other to his son-in-hiw, Gideon Hoch,
Auo-iist (>, 1824. George Stitzel got the old Richard
Bard mansion. Tlie consideration named in the deed
to Henry Stitzel was $11,372.25, and in those to
(George Stitzel and Gideon Hoch, $5,730. From
George Stitzel the Richard and Thomas Bard home-
stead went to \Villiam Stitzel, April 16, 1863, who
sold it to John W'idder, March 31, 1864. It is now
owned by S. Houston Johnston, of Mercersbiu-g,
whose wife is a great-granddaughter of Richard
Bard.

The deed of Richard and Catharine Bard to their
son Archibald for a part of "Bard's Piuchasc" was
dated July 25, 1793. This conveyance was for 226^
acres, and comprised the northern part of the old
Bard plantation. On this tract Judge Bard built the
fine stone mansion in which he liv'ed until his death,
and that was afterward the home of his widow. The
house is still standing. The Judge Bard homestead,
after tiie death of his widow, was sold and for more
than a half of a century it has lieen out of the Bard
name. The present owners of the Richard Bard plan-
tation are S. Houston Johnston, Andrew \N"inger
and David Kinsey.

Like many of the early settlers on the Peiuisvl-
vania frontier, Ricliard Bard, soon after the close of
the French and Indian War, acquired extensive
tracts of land as far westward as the western side of
the AUeghenies. In 1772. his name appeared on the

194. TIIK BAUD TAMIIA'

Bedford county tax list for 300 acres of seated and
300 acres of unseated lands in Mt. Pleasant township.
A year later, in 1773, this township became a part of
the new comity of Westmoreland. Among his neigli-
bors in Mt. Pleasant township were two brothers.
.John and (ieorge Baird, the former of whom was one
of Richard Bard's fellow members in the Pennsyl-
vania Convention of 1787. In other parts of tlie
county were other land owners of the Bard kinshi[).
including Cieorge Latimer and Samuel Potter, in
HempHcld township. Latimer married Margaret
Potter, a daughter of Captain John Potter, the first
Sheriff' of Cumberland county, and Samuel l*otter
was her brother. Mr. Potter married Susanna Poe.
a sister of Mr. Bard"s wile. Catharine I'otter. another
daughter of Captain John Potter, married James Car-
others, and lived on a plantation adjoining Sanuiel
Potter's land. Carothers built on his land, but diuMug
the Revolution he became embarrassed and conveyed
it to Richard Bard. April '24; 1780. in consideration
of £10.000. Bard icconveyed it to Carothers. ^Nlarch
.5. 1783. for £300. This land was conveyed to Car-
others. (October 1. 1773. by his brother-in-law, James
Potter, in consideration of £1.50. but the deed was
not acknowledged imtil August 1. 1783.

The Bard family of Bardstown. Ivy., had a tradi-
tion that dui'ing the Revolutionary period Richard
Bard went to Danville with his brother ^^'illiaIH.
where he built a cabin that entitled him to a tiiousand
acres of land, but afterward returned to I'ennsylvania.
It is probable that the tradition is well founded, at
least in part. According to the manuscript records

rett. of Louisville. Ky., Richard Bard entered 2.(K)()

fifteen miles south of Drennon's I^ick. includint^' some
of his improvements on the ^Vaters of Kentucky,
below Potter's and Latimore's Preemptions on the

1,000 acres and located them on Buffalo Creek, a
branch of Beech Fork. He also withdrew .500 acres
of the Drennon's Lick tract and located them on the
^Vest Fork of AVitherow's Run, also a branch of
Beech Fork, and adjoininy- Witherow's Preemption
and Paul Froman's survey. Both of the latter tracts
were in what is now Nelson county in the neighbor-
hood of Bardstown. Mr. Bard also entered 50 acres
on Spring Rini, below Roger's station; 200 acres on
Buffalo Creek, adjoining Samuel Witherow's Preemp-
tion ; and 32.5 acres on Stewart's Creek, adjoining
David Bards preemption, east of the town. Subse-
quently. April 3, 1781, Mr. Bard withdrew the
remaining .500 acres of the 2,000 acres entry on Dren-
non's Lick and located them on Buffalo Creek, begin-
ning at the southeast corner of William Bai-ds pre-
emption and running southwesterly along William
Bard's line 2.50 poles, and thence off" nearly at right
angles to include the quantity in the bottom ground
of the creek. By a deed dated March 18, 1788, he
conveyed one-half — 325 acres — of the tract contigu-
ous to Bardstown on the east, known as A\'itherow"s
preenqition. and adjoining lands of James Bard, to his
son, Archibald, the consideration named being £l00.
This deed was witnessed by James and Kli/abcth Poe,

acknowledged before Cieorge Matthews. Rsq., one of
the Justices of Frankhn county. Pa., and certified by
Edward Crawford. Prothonotary. On the 12th of

It is a noteworthy coincidence that when Richard

of Franklin county. He held the office continuously
from his first appointment. April 2. 1811. until his
death, serving under five successi\e President judges,
as follows: James Hamilton. 1811-19: Charles Smith,
1819-20: John Reed. 182()--J4.: John Tod. 1824--27;
and Alexander Thonison. lH'27-'i'2. ^Vfter he had
been six years on the bench. Judge Bard was anxious
to succeed General John Ilea in Congress, according
to a letter printed in the Philadel])hia "Aurora," May
•28. 1817. 'i'his letter gives an interesting account of
Franklin county politics at that time.

•• It may he proper iierc to mention." says tiie
writer, "that we have in this county, as well as in
some others, that kind of aristocracy which is called
family interest, in which the public is sacrificed to
family combinations. Tliis county is divided into
several connexions of this kind, instead of parties.
. . . These are the Reas, the Bards, the Maclays,
the Findlays, and several others, none of them power-
ful enough alone, others not of sufficient conse-
quence to be noticed. In the first instance. General
Rea went to Congress, but Judge Bard began to
think he would look quite as well there as the Gen-
eral. . . . At one of their delegate meetings. Bard
was brought forward by Cieneral Waddle, but one of
our delegates and those from Bedford would not
consent to it. so he fell tlirough, and seeing his
connexions were too weak of themselves, he formed
a league with the Maclays and finally ousted Rea, but
ludicrous to tell, William JNIaclay was taken up in-

HAKDS Ol' "CAUU()Li;s DELIGHT" ^05

stetul of Bard, and he is still obliged to stick to the
judgeship."

Judge Bard was a jiractical tanner and li\ed all
liis life on his farm, which was a part of " Bard's Pur-
chase," the old Richard Bard homestead. The deed
of Richard and Catharine Bard to their son Archi-
bald for a part of " Bards Purchase," was dated July
2.5. 17!)B. This conveyance was for 220^ acres, and
comprised the northern part of the old Bard planta-
tion. On this tract Judge Bard built the fine stone
mansion in which he hved until liis death, and that
was afterward the home of his widow. The house
is still standing. The .Judge Bard homestead, after
the death of Mrs. Bard, was sold and for more than
a half of a century it has been out of the Bard name.
lie was an active business man, and was named as
executor of many estates by his neighbors in the
townships of Peters, Montgomery and Antrim. His
patriotism was shown by the fact that he marched
to the defense of Baltimore in 1814, serving as a
pri\ate in the com))any of his brother, Captain
'I'iiomas Bard.

•Judge Bard compiled a narrati\ e of the captivity
of Richard Bard and his wife by the Indians, from
his father's papers, which was printed originally in
Loudon's "Narratives," and reprinted with some
changes in "Border I^ife." These narratives were
collated by the compiler of this genealogy, and re-
jjrinted, with notes, in 1905, together with a ballad
of his captivity and escape, written by Richard Bard,

22(i THE BARD FAMILY

Pa., April '26. 18.57. He bt'uaii life as a tcadior hut
at'teiwanl engaged in nieicantik' pursaits. He was a
justice of the peace for mam' years and served ten
years in the Pennsylvania Le<fislature. He wa.s a mem-
ber of the House, 1834-35, and 1843-44, and was a
member of the State Senate, 184.5-47, and 18.51-.53.
During his last term, he was Speaker of the Senate.
He was married March L>.5, 181.5. to Aoiies Kin,i,%
dauiihter of Georne and Margaret (McDowell) Kino-.
She was bapti/cd January :3(), 1789. and died in the
. smmner of 18(i^. Their children were Eliza Jane,
\\'ashington King, Thomas, William, Margaret Eme-
line, David Erskine and Rosanna Mary. Mrs. Carson's
father was a brother of the Rev. John King, D. D.,
for nearly half a century pastor of the Upper West
Conococh'eague I'resinterian Church, and her mother
was a daughter of John McDowell, of INIcDowelfs Mill,

Rohert McFarhuul Bard, son of Captain Thomas
and Jane C". (jNIcFarland) Bard, was born in Peters
township. Frankhn county. Pa., December 12, 180!),
and died in Chambersbiu'g, Pa., January '28, 1851.
He was educated at the Hagerstown Academy.
Avhich he left in his twentieth year. In 1830, he
began the study of the law at Chambersburg, under
the Hon. George Chambers, and was admitted to the
Franklin County Bar, January 14. 1834. After com-
ing to the Bar he went to Macomb. 111., intending to
settle there in the practice of his profession, but
remained only one year, returning to Chambersburg
in 183.5. where he soon acquired a large and lucrative
practice. During two years of his brief career at the

BARDS OF "CAUKOLLS DELIGHT" 227

Cliaiiibershiirg Bar, 184-2 J-^, Mr. Bard was in part-
nership with the Hon. James X. JMcLanahan, one of
the leading lawyers of that period. He soon attained
a high position at the Bar of his native county, and
in his later years enjoyed a wide reputation in the
state as a lawyer of great ability. "Mr. Bard was a
peculiarly gifted man intellectually," wrote one of
his contemporaries; "he had a profoiuid knowledge
of the law, was ardently devoted to his profession,
managed every case entrusted to him with masterly
skill and force, and would, had not death removed
him in the meridian of his years, been one of the
country's grandest jurists." He possessed an active,
vigorous and logical mind, and his legal learning was
extensive and profound. His arguments to the court
were cogent, and free from prolixity and redundancy.
His addresses before a jury were eloquent, convinc-
ing and directed toward presenting the strong points
of his case clearly and strenuously. He judiciously
refrained from dwelling at length on matters of
minor importance. When he gave a legal opinion to
a client on a difficult point of law he was able to give
it confidently, because it was the result of the most
painstaking investigation and study.

In politics ]Mr. Bard was a Whig, but he was
never an aspirant for political office. In 1839, when
he was only thirty years old, and the public school
system was in its infancy, he was elected a member
of the Chambersburg school board, and he was
chosen Chief Burgess of the borough in 1847. In
1850, he was nominated for Congress by the ^A'higs,
his successful competitor being his former law part-

ner, James X. IMcLanahan. The campaign of that
year was conducted on the race issne. Poor wliite
men wei-e asked to remember that if they di(i not
wish to become the companions of negroes, and work
for ten cents a day or get nothing to do, they must
\"ote for James X. JNIcLanalian. The ^^^lig organ,
which supported JNIr. Bard, charged that Mr. Mc-
I^anahan was " roUing in wealth." To this the "\'al-
ley Spirit." the Democratic organ, answered that
McLanahan came to Chambersburg with 37i cents
in his pockets, and that if he had since become
wealtliy it was by dint of hard apphcation to busi-
ness. Then followed from time to time some remark-
able political arguments intended to ])rove to the
independent voters of the Congress district \\liy they
should support Mr. McLanahan instead of Mr. Bard.
Hi> ^t_vk■ of living is iiuu-h like tliat ofhis ,„iiii)etih,r.
.Mr. Banl, wlio ouns a fine thive-storv duelling and a
little town of offices somewhat nearer the center of
aristocratic gravity than Mr. McLanahan"s resilience is
located. ... A man may be rich and yet not aristo-
cratic; or he may he aristocratic without being rich.
Of the first class is McLanahan. . . . Poor White
Men Rememl)er; That while Mr. McLanahan gives the
work he has tii, do to poor white men his Whig com-
petitor has a negro to do his work. .\sk the Whig
editors if thev have e\er seen anv poor white men saw-
ing ,1 cord of wood for .Ah-. IJard for years. They will
be compelled to say no. Then ask them if they ever
saw <a negro sawing wood at Mr. McLanahan's house.
They will have to say no. Mr. McLanahan is in fa\or
of supporting the poor uhite man in preference to the
negro. Choose which vou \\ill vote for. ... If vou

BARDS OF "CARK()IJ;S DELIGHT" 229

do not wish your country ovcrwhelmLil with idle, lazy
negroes from Maryland, Virginia and other slave states
vote for James X. McLanalian for Congress. And ye
jjoor men who depend n])()n your daily labor to gain a
living for yourselves and fuiiilies, if vou do not wish
to become the companions of these Negroes, and do
not wish to work for ten cents a day or else get noth-
ing at all to do, vote for James X. McLanahan. For
remember, if the abolitionists get a sufficient number
of members of Congress, they will abolish slavery, and
then the Negroes will overrun tlie free States, and work
for less wages and you will be com])elled to work for
the same or have nothing to do. Are you willing to
work side by side with a negro, for ten cents a day ?
Are you willing to sleep in the same bed with him.'
Are you willing that the negro shall be the companion
of your sons aud daughters. If you are not, vote for
James X. McLanahan for Congress. Think for your-
.selves, poor laboring men and mechanics. The Whig
editors denounce Mr. McLanahan for voting for a law
allowing the master to come from Maryland and Vir-
ginia to reclaim his slave. If Mr. Bard would have
voted against the measure — and tiie Whig editors say
he would — is not this evidence that he is oppo.sed to
having the slaves taken back, that he wishes them to
remain among us, to take the place of the jjoor white
man, to take away the labor of the wliite man, and to
compel the white man to labor for the same wages that
the negro is willing to take for his services.^
This was, perhaps, the only campaign in a North-
ern Congress district in ante-belknii days, in which
tlie race issue was so boldly urged, or was successful.
Mv. Bard was a man of strong con\ictions. witli the
courage to avow them. He was conspicuous as an

influential and consistent advocate of temperance at
a time wlien opposition to the Rum Power and the
Slave Power were alike regarded as a species of
fanaticism.

Mr. Bard was married Fehruary 12. 1839. to Eliza-
beth Smith Little, dau(,diter of Dr. Peter ^^^ and
Mary S. (I'arker) Little, of Mercersburg. Pa. She
was born December 12, 1813, and died at Hueneme,

at the Chambersbiirg Academy, and began the study
of the law under the Hon. Cieorge Chambers, at
Chambersl)urg. Impaired health led him to abandon
his preparation for tlie Bar and engage in a more
active business life. He became a member of the
foi-warding and conmiission house of Zeller & Co., at
Hagerstown, Md., in 1801, and also served the Cumber-
land \'alley Railroad at that place until August, 1864.
During this period he saw some dangerous sei'vice as
a volunteer scout in the successive invasions of INIary-
land and Pennsylvania by the Confederates. One
day, with a companion, he penetrated the lines of the
enemy and was captured. They were on the point of
being hanged as spies, when a sudden rush of Union
cavalry rescued them from their distressing situation.
In the autumn of 1864, Thomas A. Scott, Assistant
Secretary of ^^'^ar and afterwards president of the

252 THE BAUD FAMILY

Pennsyh'juiia Railroad, was in searcli of a capable
young man to take charge of his extensi\ e interests
in southern California, which included oil lands that
it was belie\ed would ri\al the oil regions of Pennsyl-
vania. Mr. Bard was chosen for the work, and after
spending several months in Colonel Scott's office, was
placed in control of his holdings in \'entura, I^os
Angeles and Humboldt counties, comprising about
•277.000 acres. These holdings included 113.000 acres
in Rancho Simi: 20.000. I.as Posas; 48.000. San
Francisco; 10.000. Callegnas; 4.5,000. El Rio de
Santa Clara Ola Colonia; 6.(500 in the Canad Clara,
and 10,000 in the Ojai. At that time there were not
more than a dozen Americans in the entire region. It
was not long, howexer, until squatters began to sAvarm
over a part of Scott's land. In the description of the
old Ranclio la Colonia one line ran from a certain
monument to a point on the Santa Barbara channel
shore between two esteros. Lagoons were numerous
along that shore, and it was easy for a designing and
unscrupulous person to raise a doubt in regard to the
two esteros between which the Rancho line ran. A
Sacramento lawyer asserted that the line ran to a
point near where the Hueneme lighthouse now
stands. This was in direct conflict with Scott's claim,
and Avould have deprived him of about 17,000 acres
of as rich, level land as was to be found along the
coast. The lawyer set on the scjuatters, who at once
began to drop down on the 17.000 acres. Scott in-
sisted on his claim, and Bard was on the ground to
defend his rights and to drive the squatters off. The
settlers talked "shoot" and "'hang," but Bard kept

BAUDS OF -CARROLL'S DELIGHT" 253

after them. At the outset, he had a survey made by
tlie r^nited States Surveyor (General, and. as the Hue
fitted the Scott claim, lie was unyielding in enforcing
it. The conflict lasted for years with ^■arying for-
times. The settlers stole a march on Scott l)y obtaiji-
ing a decision in their favor from the I^and Office at
^^"ashington. but Scott succeeded in having it re-
versed, and it has remained reversed to this day.
When Cirover Cleveland became President, the
squatters made their last attempt to get the Colonia
lands, but Attorney General Garland upheld the old
Scott line and that was the end of it. During all
these years of conflict Bard was on the tiring-line. He
had desperate men to deal with but he never flinched.
He kept the courts of the county busy dealing with
the cases of the squatters. After he had won. he
dealt so generously with the men who had been his
bitter enemies that they became his friends.

\Vhile Mr. Bard was Colonel Scott's agent he had
some thrilling experiences. The California Petroleum
Company was organized to develop the oil on Scott's
holdings. Well Xo. 1 was put down on the Ojai
country, and there Bard made his home when he first
went to southern California. One night in 1874 he
was the victim of an attempted "hold-up" while
driving to \o. 1 on tlie Ojai with a large sum of
money in iiis possession. He had forgotten his pistol,
but the landlord at the hotel where he received the
money, loaned him an old derringer with which to
defend himself in case of attack. He was driving
four-in-hand. It was not an easy thing to hold up
four bronchos on the run, but on an up grade a man

^54 THE BARD FAMILY

got in front of the leaders, while another" came to
the forward wheels demanding Bard's money. Bard
blazed away with the ancient derringer, missing his
man. but hxn-ting himself with tlie old weapon, the
handle of which bursted in his lumd. Frightened by
the explosion the leaders dashed forward and Bard
was out of reach of the highwaymen. Desperadoes
among the squatters on the Scott lands and other bad
men plotted to take JMr. Bards life on a number of
occasions, but these plots always failed. These antag-
onisms have passed away, and now he is held in the
higliest esteem by all classes in southern California
for what he has achieved for the development of his
section of the state.

AVlien Mr. Bard went to California. \'entm-a
county, in which he lives, was part of Santa Barbara.
He was supervisor of the \'entura district, 1868 72,
and when Ventura county was formed in tlie latter
year he was one of the three commissioners to set the
coimty government going. In 1877 he was the Re-
publican candidate for State Senator from the district
comprising \>ntura. Santa Barbara and San Luis
Obispo counties; he carried tlie Hrst two but was
beaten by his Democratic opponent in San Luis
Obispo by a small margin. In 1892 he was on the
Republican electoral ticket, and was chosen a Presi-
dential elector, although the Democrats carried the
rest of their ticket. He received more votes on the
close poll than the three lowest of the Democratic
candidates. In 189!) the California I^egislature failed
to electa United States Senator, and the "dead-lock"'
was not broken until February, 1900, wlien Mr. Bard

BARDS OF '-CAUROLLS DELIGHT" 255

was chosen. He was not a candidate and his election
was a surprise. In the Senate he soon acquired the
respect of that august body for his wide knowledge
of the interests and needs of the l*aciHc Slope. He
was chairman of the Senate Committee on Irrigation.
The term for which he was elected expired March 4,
190.5.

Senator Bard has been a successful business man.
He has extensive landed interests in \^entura and
adjoining counties. At his home in Hueneme. called
"Berylwood," after his eldest daughter, he indulges
his taste for gardening, and has succeeded in develop-

church at Hueneme, in which he is a ruling elder and

and Elizabeth S. (Little) Bard, was born at Cliain-
bersbui"g. Pa., April 7, 1848, and died in San Buena-
ventura, Cal., April 20, 1902. He was educated at
the Chambersburg Academy. After leaving school
he began the study of medicine in the office of Dr.
Abraham H. Senseny, in Chambersburg, but his
studies were interrupted by his enlistment in Com-
pany A, 126th Regiment, I'ennsylvania A^olunteers,
August 11, 1862. He participated in the sanguinary
battle of Fredericksburg, December 13, 1862, and the
battle of Chancellorsville, May 3, 1863. Upon his
being mustered out with his regiment. May 20, 1863,
he re'^umed his medical studies and was graduated
M.D., at .lefferson Medical College, Philadelphia,
in 1864. Soon after receiving his degree he was ap-
pointed assistant surgeon of the 210th Regiment,
Pennsylvania \'olunteers, and served until the close

25H THE BARD FA:MILV

of the war. After the war lie began the practice of
his profession in his native county, but. in 1868. he
left Chanibersbiu'g to l>egin a new and remarkable
career as a practitioner in southern California.
Dr. Bard was the Hrst American physician, with a
diploma, that settled in \'entura county, of which he
was one of the pioneers. He became an integral
part of the county — a tixed figure in its social and
civic life. ^Vith him the hardships tliat befall a
country physician with a large practice, had no power
to draw him to a large city, where the routine of his
professional life would be easier and the emoluments
greater. He found his reward in the gratitude, \oxe
and esteem that the people he served so imselfishly,
bestowed upon him. It was a common occurrence
with him to risk his life in the roaring Santa Clara
when the summons came to him from a patient on a
winter night. "Oh, I have to do it," was his own
comment on his imselfish devotion to duty. He
always felt the keenest satisfaction in the success of
his professional efforts. For more than thirty years
there was no public highway in \"entura county so
long, or mountain trail so distant, that it was not
traversed by him again and again on his errands of
mercy. He knew nearly every man, woman and
child in the county ; knew their names, their disposi-
tions, their ailments and their limitations. The ten-
acity of his memory was as marvelous as the accuracy
of his knowledge. His quick intuitions made him a
leader of men as well as a skillful and unerring
physician. After his death, the Ventura Society of
Pioneers, of which he was the virtual founder, un-

veiled a bust of the popular physician, in the beau-
tiful Ehzabeth Bard Memorial Hospital, in San
Buenaventura, founded by Dr. Bard and his brother.
Senator Bard, in memory of their mother.

Dr. Bard held many positions of honor and trust.
In the early days he was coroner of \'entura coimty.
He served as Health Officer of his county, and as
County Physician and Surgeon for many years and
as a member of the Board of Pension Examiners. He
was president of the State ^Medical Society of Cali-
fornia, and of the A'entura County INIedical Society.
For over ten years he was president of the City School
Board, and he was also president of the Society of
Pioneers. In the Grand Army of the Republic he
was always an active, zealous and patriotic connade.
His last achievement was the completion of the
Elizabeth Bard Memorial Hospital, which was finished
only a short time before his death, and in which he
was the first patient.

Dr. Bard was married October 25, 1871, to Clara
'\\' inter Gerberding, daughter of Christian Otto and
Mary J. (Hempson) Cierberding. She was born Sep-
tember 5, IS-tT, and died January 12, 1!K)5.

DESCENDANTS OF AV IT J J AIM BARD

"^T/^IELIAINI BARD, second son of Archibald
' ' Beard, or Bard, was born June 7, 1738, and
died at Bardstown, Ky., July 31, 1802. He was
reared in Hamiltonban township, York, now Adams
county, Pa. By deed, dated April 2, 1761, his father
conveyed to him a tract of land in "Carroll's Delight,"
which was surveyed to Robert Mcl'herson, October
7, 1765. Another conveyance from Archibald to
William, dated November 20, 1764, was for a tract
of 74 acres of land in Antrim, now Quincy township,
Franklin county, near the Seventh Day Baptist
plantation, known as the Nunnery. AN^illiam also
owned a tract outside of Carroll's Delight, which he
sold to the Rev. John IMcKnight and P>benezer Fin-
ley, and removed to the Cumberland A^alley. The
Quincy tract, which Archibald Bard obtained on a
Proprietary warrant, was con\'eyed by AA^illiam Bard,
of Cumberland county, to Richard Bard, of York
county. December 21, 1767. After this sale he went
to western Pennsylvania, and finally settled in Ken-
tucky.

According to the tradition of the Bard family, of
Bardstown, William Bard first \-isited Kentucky in
1768. The story is that salt being scarce at Pittsburgh,
he proposed to three other men. Brown, Evans and
Doe, to go down the Ohio river, on a flat-boat, to the

26i THE HARD FAMILY

salt licks of Kentucky. Does wife went with them
to cook for them. They landed near the site of
Louisville, and then went to Drennon's creek, twelve
miles distant, where they built a cabin preparatory to
beginnino- the manufactiu'e of salt. The Does had
witli them an infant six months old. The party had
not been many days at the salt licks when they were
attacked by a band of Indians. Doe and his wife
were both killed and Brown was se\erely woimded.
Bard killed one Indian with his own gun, and with
the gun of the dead man he shot another. These
ftitalities had the effect of intimidating the Indians,
and they retii-ed. leaxing Mr. Bard with the wounded
man and the helpless babe on his hands. He succored
the child by chewing bread, that it might have
sustenance. In the meantime, Evans made his way to
the river in search of assistance. ^\t midnight of the
following night, the woimded man died. Bard then
barred up the cabin and taking the ciiild in his arms
followed after Evans. He had gone only three miles
when he was attacked by woh es. He escaped tiiem
by climbing a tree, where he remained until daylight.
Resuming his journey, he "soon afterward met Mr.
Evans with a company of men coming to his rescue."
The reality of the rescuing party is taken for granted
in the tradition, but it is not easily explained, as this
was a year before Boone and his companions had
made their way from the Yadkin, and before any per-
manent settlements had been made in Kentucky.

The Bardstown tradition further asserts that Mr.
Bard and Mr. Evans returned to their homes in ^'ir-
ginia, taking the little girl with them to its relatives:

BARDS OF "CARUOLLS DELIGHT" 265

that later W^illiani Bard and his brother. Richard, went
to Kentucky and located at Danville; that Richard
built a cabin that entitled hini to a thousand acres
of land, but afterward returned to Pennsylvania; and
that William settled where Bardstown now stands.
There is no tradition among the descendants of
Richard Bard in regard to this early visit to Ken-
tucky, but land entries copied by Colonel Uurrett,
of Louis\ille. and deeds and other instruments of
writinjj- on record, at Bardstown. \elson county,
show his ownership of land adjacent to Bardstown,
1780-88.

^^^llen \N'illiam Bard went to Kentucky to settle,
or soon afterward, he built a cabin about four miles
north of Bardstown and acquired a large tract of land
on Buffalo creek. A part of this land remained in
the possession of some of his descendants imtil within
a few years. There is a family burying ground on
the old Bard homestead in which foin- generations of
the Bards are buried. ^^Mllianl Bard and his son,
James, were both buried there, but there is no stone
to mark the place of sepulture of the pioneer.

The town of Bardstown was laid out by \\"illiam
Bard on lands of David Bard. It was named after
the latter. The following announcement taken from
the records of the city of Bardstown. originally called
Salem, shows the initial steps toward the erection of
Nelson county and the creation of Bardstown as the
county seat:

Whereas it appears to many of tlie inhabitants that
Jefferson county reciiiiies to be divided, and the new
town of Salem lentral for a C'ountv Town. Therefore,

I pioposu the following encouragement for settling it,
viz. : Inlots containing one-quarter of an acre with an
outlot containing three acres given free, only a quit-
rent of two siher dollars per year, or the value thereof
in wheat to the Proprietor thereof — a good sufficient
title shall be given on demand after David Bard obtains
his preemption deed for the same. The whole shall be
clear of rent during the disturbance bv the present war
in these parts; and until the outlets can be properly
laid off after the said war. People may clear and occupy
as much adjacent land as is necessary for the support of
their families, and those getting by lottery the improved
lands shall pay the value of the improvements to him
that made it. Settlers on these inlots who build a house
sixteen feet square and clear off the underbi-ush shall be
deemed to have a right to these lots.

DESCEND AXIS OF DAVID BARD

"PI AVID HARD, son of Archibald Beard, or
-'-^ Bard, was born on Carroll's Delight, Adams
county. Pa., in 1744, and died at Alexandria, Hunt-
ingdon county. Pa., March 12, 181.5. He was gradu-
ated at Princeton College, in 1773. He was licensed
by the Presbytery of Donegal, probably in the spring
of the year 1777, as he was, in the fall of that year,
reported by the Presbytery to Synod, as a licen-
tiate. At the meeting of the Presbytery, held April
17, 1778, he announced his intention of taking a
chaplaincy in the army, but in June following de-
clared his change of mind. In October, of 1778, he
received, through the Presbytery, a call to the Cxreat
Cove, in \^irginia, and was ordained, June IG, 1779,
with a view to this field, as we suppose. He supplied
this congregation for one year, when he recei\'ed and
accepted a call to the united congregations of Kit-
tochtin and Gum Spring, also in ^"irginia. The salary
promised was to be paid, at least in part, in wheat, rye
and corn. In 1782 he applied to be released from this
charge. From this time imtil 1786, it is not known
how he was employed, but it is probable that he was
in Kentucky, as in that year he is mentioned in the
proposals of his brother ^^^illiam Bard for laying out
the town of Bardstown, of the site of which he had
obtained a preemption. In 178(;. he received a call

R (-'73)

274 THE BARD FAMILY

to Bedford. Pa., where he remained until 178!). It
was e\idently ^Ir. Bards intention to remain at Bed-
ford, for two or three years before his removal he
purchased two outlets of the town of Bedford, in the
Manor of Bedford, from John Penn and Jolin Penn,
.Ir.. of the city of Philadelphia. The lots were \os.
22 and 23. and the consideration was ^42, Pennsyl-
vania currency. The deed was dated September 12,
1786. In 1789. he made application to the Presby-
tery of Carlisle, to be dismissed to the Presbytery of
Transylvania, Kentucky, but in June, 1790, he re-
turned the certificate of dismission, and at the same
time accepted a call to Frankstown congregation, and
as stated supply of Sinking A'alley. In 1788. before
leaving Bedford, he was the owner of lot 10. in Hol-
lidaysburg. The congregations of ^^"illiamsport. Md.,
and Falling AVaters. ^'a.. called him in 1791, but he
did not accept. In 1799. after serving the congrega
tion at Frankstown for ten years, the relation was
dissolved, at his own request, with the reluctant con-
sent of his congregation. He seems, however, to have
retained the charge at Sinking \"alley.

The Rev. Dr. D. X. .lunkin. in a historical dis-
course delivered at Hollidaysburg, March 25. 1800,
said he was elected to Congress the next year after
his arii\al, the first Congress under the Constitution,
and was elected contiiuiously for twenty-two years.
Tliis is evidently a mistake. The Rev. Mr. Bard was
first elected to Congress in 1794, and he was re-
elected in 179(), serving two terms, 1795-99. The
Representatives in the First Congress, from I'ennsyl-
vania, were chosen on a general ticket. Among tlie

west of the Susquehanna. Colonel Thomas Hartley,
of York, and Thomas Scott, of Washin^^ton county.
The first apportionment of the state into Congress
districts was under an Act of the Legislatiu'e. ap-
proved March 1(5. 1791. Under this apportionment,
the Sixth District, which comprised the counties of
Bedford. Xorthumberland. Franklin. Huntingdon
and Mifflin, was represented in the Second and Third
Congresses, 1791-95, by Andrew Gregg. A second
apportionment quickly followed the first, under an
Act of the Legislature, passed April 22. 1794. Un-
der this apportionment, the Tenth district comprised
the counties of Bedford. Franklin and Hiuitingdon.
This district was represented in the Foin-th and Fifth
Congresses. 1795-99. by the Rev. Da\id Bard, of
Sinking ^'alley, and in the Sixth and Seventh Con-
gresses, 1799-1803, by Henry ^^^oods, of Bedford.
In 1802. the state was again redistricted. the counties
of Cumberland, Huntingdon, Dauphin and JNIifflin
becoming the Fourth District, with two representa-
tives, of whom Mr. Bard was one. 1803-13. Under
the apportionment of 1812, the counties of Himting-
don. Mifflin. Centre. Clearfield and McKean became
the Ninth District, which Mr. Bard represented for
one term, 1813-15.

There seems to have been some dispute over the
regularity of Mr. Bard's election to the Fourth Con-
gress. His credentials were referred to the Committee
of Elections, which reported ^Nlarch 18, 179G. The
general election law prescribed that one of the judges
of each of the counties composing the district should

276 THE BARD FAMILY

meet at a place called the Burnt Cabins, in the
county of Bedford, to estimate the vote. • It was
shown that there was some delay in countin<i- the
election returns, as directed by the law. but the
judges finally met at the Burnt Cabins, and counted
the votes. According to their report, Da\id Baird
received 1.80() votes. James McClain, 1,090 votes, and
.lames Chambers, 519 votes. The committee re-
ported that the elections appeared to ha\e been reg-
ularly held in the several counties comprising the
district, and Mr. Bard was given his seat. It A\'ill be
obser\ed that in the report of the committee the
name of David Bard was spelled Baird. and that of
James McLene. .McClain. .fames .McLcneand .lames
Chambers were i)oth of Franklin county.

In the annals of Congress Mr. Bard is shown to
have addressed the House, February 14, 1804, on the
(piestion of the importation of slaves into the United
States. The discussion was on a motion offered by
Mr. Bard which was taken into consideration in com-
mittee of the whole:

Resolved. That a tax of ten dollars be im{)osed on
every slave imported into any part of the United
States, ((^n motion of Mr. Jackson, it was agreed to
add after the words •• United States" "or their terri-
tories."')

Air. Hani: . . . As to the foii.stitutionalitv of the iiieas-
uie I believe there c-aii he but one opinion. It i.s pretty
well luuleistood that the I'nion of the State.s was a
matter of coniproniise ; and indeed the language of the
Constitution suggests the idea that the eonvention that
formed that instrmnent must have had the emaneipa-

HARDS OF "CARU()Li;s DELIGHT" 277

tioii of slaves under their consideration; that they had
achieved Hberty and that their object was to transmit
it to posterity; and we cannot permit ourselves to sup-
pose that men whose minds were so enriched with liberal
sentiments and who had so often reiterated the sacred
truth "that all men were boni e([ually free" — I say we
cannot suppose that they would consider slavery to be
a subject unworthy their discussion. And it appears to
be equally suggested that the coineiition were not all
agreed to an absolute prohibition of the slave trade,
but yielded so far that a duty or tax might be imposed
on the future importation of that description of people.
The question then is only on the policy of laying the
tax; and it appears that there can be no doubt on this
question . . . and if niv information is correct, a slave
will bring four hundred dollars, the tax is but ^h per
cent which is in many degrees lower than any other im-
ported article jjays. . . . Howe\er, if any of the States
engage in the trade, the tax will have two effects; it
will add something to the revenue and it will show to
the world that the general government are opposed to
slavery and are willing to improve their power so far as
it will go for preventing it. Both these ends are valu-
able; but I deem the latter to be the more important,
for we (lue it indispensably to om-selves and to the
world whose eyes are on this government to maintain
its Republican character. Everything compared to a
good name is "trash ;" and it rests with us whether we
will preserve or destroy it. If our government will
respect power only, and justify whatever it may be able
to do, then will our hands be against e\ery man, and
every man's hand against us; and Americans will become
the scorn of mankind. On what princi])les, whether
moral or political. I do not know, but so it was. that

278 THE BARD FAMILY

about tlu' ilosf of tlie Ht^xolutioiiaiv War, the Quaker
Society in South Caiohna brought the slave trade, or
perhaps slavery itself, under their serious consideration
and decreed it to be unjustifiable. That afterwards, in
1796 or 1797, they addressed Congress on the subject.
. . . Some years ago the States, even those in which
slaves abound most, loudly exclaimed against the further
importation of that class of people, and by their laws |)ro-
hibited their trartic. ... In 1802 Congress stretched
out her arm to aid the State governments against the
evil it much (lej)recated, and passed a law iiiHicting tines
and foi'feitures on every man who should l)e found
importing slaves into the United States. . . . To im-
|>ort slaves is to import enemies into our country, it is to
import men who must be our natural enemies, if such
there can be. . . . Gentlemen tell us, although I can
hardly think them serious, that the peo]>le of this class
can never systematize a rebellion. . . . The rigor of
the law and the importation of the slaves will mutually
increase each othei-, until the artifices of the one are
exhausted, and until on the other hand human nature
sinks under its wrongs or obtains the restoration of its
rights.

The negroes . . . are present on numerous occasions
when the conversation turns on political subjects. . . .
They will some day, especially if their importation ctni-
tinues, produce a disturbance that may not be easily
quieted or kindle a Hame that mav not be readily
extinguished. . . . Eui-t)pean powers have armed the
Indians against us, and why may thev not arm the
negroes.

The subject was debated at length and also on the
following da}' the House had a long and heated con-
test over the resolution, an attempt being made to

BARDS OF "CARR0IJ;S DELIGHT" 279

postpone a consideration of the matter until the first
Monday in May. The motion to postpone was de-
feated— yeas 54, nays 62, wiiereupon a vote on the
resolution was had, which resulted in its carrying,
yeas 71. In Congress Mr. Bard ue\er aspired to be
an orator, and his only noteworthy speech in the
House during his long ser\ice was that directed
against the slave trade.

If Dr. Junkin was correct in saying that ^Ir. Bard
was first elected a member of Congress the next year
after his arrival at Hollidaysburg, he must have set-
tled at that place in 1793. It is more likely, how-
ever, that he went there, or to Frankstown, in the
year that he became a lot owner, 1788, or soon after,-
ward, when it is said he organized the Presbyterian
congregation at Hollidaysburg and began preaching
there and at Sinking Valley and ^^^illiamsburg. After
his election to Congress in 1802, he retained his pas-
torates, which did not then include either Frankstown
or Hollidaysburg, serving in the National Legislature
in the winter months, and preaching in the summer.
^^'^hile disclaiming any knowledge of the efltect of his
political life upon his spirituality and success as a min-
ister, one of his successors in the Bedford congregation,
the Rev. Robert F. Sample, expressed regret that Mr.
Bard did not devote all his time to the work of tlie
ministry, for which he was so specially adapted. It is
said that as a minister he was possessed of popular
talents and was acceptable as a preacher where^'er he
was heard. As his salary from the three Blair county
congregations was only flOO per annum, it can
scarcely be claimed that he was in any way derelict

280 THE BARD FAMILY

in his duty in preaching to his people only in the
summer months. One thing appears from the Pres-
l)vterv"s records, that no member of the Pre.sb)i;ery
of Huntingdon was so frequently absent from the
meetings of eliureh courts. Indeed, at one time, he
was cited before the Presbytery to answer for frequent
and continued absences. He satisfied Presbytery by
the reasons which he ga\'e. and no doubt, among
these reasons was tiie necessity of attending the ses-
sions of Congress. It is prol)able that for a number
of years he made iiis Iiome at Frankstown. but at the
time of his death he was living in Sinking \'alley,
where he owned a fine farm.

.Mr. Bard always e\inced a strong interest in the
ownership of tlie soil. Besides the lots that he pur-
chased in Bedford and Hollidaysljurg, and his farm
in Sinking \^alley. he preempted lands in Kentucky
with his l)rothers. Richard and AN'illiam, and obtained
a patent for the site of Bardstown.

After the adjournment of Congress, at the expira-
tion of his last term, JNIr. Bard started to return to
his home, and passed through Huntingdon on the
Thursday preceding his death, apparently in good
health. When he reached the house of his son-in-
law. Dr. John E. Buchanan, at Alexandria, he was
found to be very ill. He arrived at Dr. Buchanan's
house late at night. A messenger was at once dis-
patched for his wife. Slie reached his bedside on the
following morning, but he was then unable to speak
and died a few hours later. He was buried in the
cemetery at ^Vrch Spring, in Sinking \'alley. where
his wife also rests l)v his side.

Potter, of Mossfield. Devonisli parish. County Fer-
managh, signed a marriage bond, September 1. 1751.
for tlie marriage of Wilham Breen, of Shellone.
Kilskerry. with EHzabeth Potter, of Kilgartnalhigli.
in Kilskerry parish.

One is ahnost tempted to beheve that Catharine
Crozier. of Kilskerry. was the first wife of Captain
Jolm Potter, of Conococheague, and the mother of
General James Potter, who was born in 1729.
According to the late Adam Boyd Hamilton, of
Harrisbm-g. Pa.. John Potter, the emigrant, was

married by the Rev. Baptist Boyd to Sarah :

Mr. Hamilton also says that Potter's sister. Isabella,
was married to his ancestor, John Hamilton, by Mr.
Boyd. Baptist Boyd was for many years the Presby-
terian minister at Aiichnacloy. a post town on the
river Blackwater. County Tyrone. A\Mien Captain
Potter died, at his home near Brown's Mill, in 1757,
he left a wife, Martha. It is not impossible that
Captain Potter was married three times, but it is
more likely that Mr. Boyd Hamilton's Sarah of tra-
dition was in fact Martha. The latter is a family
name with both the Potter and the Bard families, but
the former is not foimd in either. Apart from all
this, it is highly probable that Martha Potter was a
sister of Archibald Beard, or a sister of his wife. If
Archibald Beard Avas married at or near Ccal island,
it is likely that Baptist Boyd was the officiating
minister. Were Mr. Boyd's marriage lists extant.
they would probably solve all these problems. l)ut a
thorough search for them only tends to dispro\e
their existence.

THK BARD KINSHIP JiOl

In Richard Bard's Ballad, and in Judge Archi-
bald Bard's "Narrative of the Captivity o^ Richard
Bard and his \\'ife," Thomas Potter, a son of John
and Martha Potter, who was a companion of the
Bards in misfortune, and the first of the party of
captives to fall before the fury of the sa\'ages, is
always described as a cousin. In Richard Bard's
Ballad, Thomas l*otter is mentioned in two of the
stanzas, as follows:

One of the foremost that came

With him a cutlass brought;
But cousin Potter took the same:

As thev together fought.

Not far, h()we\er, did ue go

Ere came we to a hill.
Where they our cousin Potter's blood

Inhumanly did spill.

In Judge Bards "Narrative" the statement of
relationship is simple, and yet not explicit : " Thomas
Potter, brother of General I'otter, who had come the
evening before, being a full cousin." Richard Bard's
wife, Catharine Poe, was a daughter of Thomas Poe
and Mary Potter, a sister of Captain John Potter.
Consequently, Thoiiias Potter and Catharine Poe
Bard were full cousins, but the phrase "our cousin,"
in the ballad, implies a double cousinship.' One word

'In one account, compiled from Judge Bard's "Narrative," Thomas
Potter is said to be Richard Bard's nephew. This error is due to the
carelessness of the compiler.

302 THE BARD FAMILY

that may mean a double cousinship only by marriage
is not proof of double cousinship by blood, but it
must be remembered that the most intimate relations
between the Potters and the Beards existed when
Richard Bard and Catharine Poe were in their in-
fancy. This intimacy began in Ireland, for when
John Potter and his sister, Isabella, with her hus-
band, John Hamilton, arrived in the Delaware, at
Newcastle, it was from Archibald Beard's house, in
^Miln Creek Hundred, that the infant son of the
Hamiltons was buried. Such events occur only in
families when a close relationship exists by inter-
marriage. If Thomas Potter and Richard Bard were
cousins, the only tenable hypotheses are those already
stated — either that Archibald Beard and John Potter
married sisters, or that John Potter married a sister
of Archibald Beard. If the latter hypothesis is correct,
the following chart will show the parentage of the
three cousins :

JOHN POTTER, presumed to be a son of
Thomas Potter, of Ballyiiant, County Fer-
maiiagli. Ireland, was born early in the eighteenth
century, and died in ^Vntrim township. Cumberland,
now Franklin county. Pa., in 1757. He came to
America with his brother-in-law. .John Hamilton,
whose wife, Isabella, was his sister. They made the
voyage on the ship "Donegal," arriving at Newcastle,
on the Delaware. September 25, 1741. Mr. Potter
settled in the Cumberland ^'alley as early as 1746,
and. perhaps, earlier. He was lieutenant of Captain
George Brown's company, in Colonel Benjamin
Chambers' regiment, in 1748. and when Cumberland
county was organized, in 1750, he served on the first
grand jury. He became the first sheriff of the new
county. After serving his first term as sheriff, 1750-
51, he was given a second term, 1754-55.

was made to John Hamilton. April 18. 1747. In a

among the list of taxables for Antrim township,
Cumberland county, in 1751. As tliese lands passed
into the possession of .lohn Potter and were adjacent
to lands surveyed to Thomas Poe, in March, 1752, it
is to be inferred that Robert Hamilton was nearly
akin to .lohn Hamilton, and that .John came to the

extending southeast to a point near the Brown's JNIill

to Penn's A^iUey, in wliat is now Centre county. It
was early in this latter period, 17(50 ()7, that young
James Chambers, the eldest son of Colonel Benjamin
Chambers, the founder of Chambersburg. came to
the Potter home courtinjr Miss Hamilton, the orphan
daughter of John Hamilton and Isabella Potter,
whom he made his wife. So, it will be seen that the
old Potter homestead has its tales of lo\e as well as
war. It is a house worthy in every way of its history.
It is not an imposing structure, but in its day it was,
no doubt, regarded as a house of more than ordinary
proportions. It is only a story and a half in height,
and was built of limestone, rudely dressed. It has a
peaked roof and there is a window in the south gable.
The walls are now cracked and seamed in many
places, and show signs all over them of the destroy-
ing hand of time for more than a centiu-y and a
half, but the masonry was so strong that the build-

determined to erect forts at Carlisle, Shippensburg,

was not built, but Potter's house became a refuge
for the fleeing inhabitants, as many as a hundred
women and children seeking safety there after the
attack on the Big Cove, Noveml)er 1. 1755. Potter
had already organized his neighbors into an emer-

the savages, and when he heard of the massacre he
sent word to his men to meet at McDowell's Mill.

of which I and Mr. Hoops, and some others, plead
for, but could not obtain it without putting it to
vote, which done we were outvoted by a considerable
number, upon which I and company were left by

man that will not tight when called in so eminent a
manner; for there were not six of these men that
would consent to go in pursuit of the Indians."

didate for Governor in 1860. He was also a delegate
to the Republican National Convention of that year.
His opposition to \\^illiam H. Seward in the conven-
tion, on the ground that Seward's candidature would
endanger his own election, was an important factor
in the nomination of Abraham Lincoln for the presi-
dency. The contest in the state was an animated one.

Ciirtin spoke in nearly every county, and e\ery\vhere
attracted large audiences and roused great enthusi-
asm. He was elected by a majority that exceeded
the most sanguine expectations of his friends. So
successful was he as the ^Var Governor of Pennsyl-
\'ania that he was reelected in 18()8 by a satisfactory
majority.

The two acts of (^oxernor Curtins administration
that ga\e him most i-enown were the organization of the
famous Pennsylvania Reserves, in 1861. and the estab-
lishment of the Soldiers' Orphans' Schools. So arduous
were his labors that before the close of his first term
his health was seriously impaired, and in 1864 his life
was despaired of; in Xovember, by the order of his
physicians, he went to Cuba for the winter. In 18()7
he was a candidate for the United States Senate and
in 1868 he was warmly supported in the Republican
National Convention for the \'ice-Presidency. In
18()9 President Grant appointed him JMinister to
Russia. Twice before he had been offered foreign
missions, once by President Lincoln, and later by
President Johnson. Before lea\ing for St. Peters-
burg, he was accorded a public reception in Inde-
pendence Hall by the councils of Philadelphia, and
given a banquet at the ^Vcademy of Music unsur-
passed as a manifestation of popular affection. He
returned from Russia in August, 1872.

^IK EDxMUXD T. BEWLEV, of Dublin, in his
^^ •■ Family of Poe, or Poe," traces the ancestry of
the Poes, of Ireland, to Anthony Poe. of the ^lanor
Papplewick. Xorthamptonshire, Eno;land. Pap[)le-
wick was in the neighborhood of Xewstead. the seat
of the Byrons. and adjoined Sherwood Forest, of
which the Byrons were stewards and wardens since
1485. Richard Poe was under-keeper of Xewstead
and Blydeworth, under Sir John Byron, in 1591.
This Richard Poe was the only child of Richard Poe,
eldest son of William Poe, both of Horringham.
William Poe's will was dated .July 15, 1557. and his
son Richards May 81. 1564. Besides Richard, Wil-
liam Poe named two other sons in his will Edmond
and Thomas.

The Manor of Papplewick was granted by I^etters
Patent to Sir John Byron, father of the Sir John, un-
der whom Richard Poe was under-keeper. May 28,
1540. .Anthony Poe, yoeman, was one of the tenants
of Papf)lewick when he made his will in January,
1()05()(;. He was a grandson of William Poe, of
Horringham (Hoveringham), and a son either of
Edmond or Thomas Poe. Dr. I>eonard Poe, to whom
many pedigree-mongers imputed the ancestry of the
Poes, of Ireland, was his kinsman, probably his
nephew, according to Sir Edmimd Bewley. In that
case, James Poe, of PoesHeld. in the County of Derby,
was his brother. This theory is demolished by Dr.

that James Poe, his father, was a son of Richard
Poe. of Poesfield. Derbyshire. Richard Poe. son of
AVilliani. of Hoveringham. Notts, had only one son.
Richard the under-keeper. The Poes of the counties
of Xottingham and Derby were, no doubt, kinsmen,
but the data at hand is too meao-er to establish a
closer relationship.

Anthony Poe, of Papplewick. died before 1612.
The name of his wife, who sur\ived him. was Alice
Frost. She was probably the mother of his children.
His sons were AVilliam. John. Thomas, Richard and
Anthony, and his daughters were Alice. Anne and
Elizabeth. Three of tliese sons, ^^^illiam. Thomas
and Anthony, went to Ireland at the Plantation of
Ulster. John, the second son, was given the unex-
pired lease of his father's homestead. Of Richard
nothing has been learned, but he may have been the
Richard Poe, who was married in the parish of Xew-
ark-on-Trent, June 9, 1631. to Mary Laurence.

AVilliam Poe. eldest son of Anthony Poe. of I'ap-
plewick. was an interesting character. He went to
Ireland, at the Plantation of Lister, with Leonard
Blennerliassett. Among his early acquisitions of lands
in Ireland was five balliboes or townlands. in "the
great proportion of Brade, " which he obtained from
Captain James Mervyn. either in fee-simple or fee-
farm. In 1()28 he married his first wife. Frances, only
daughter of John Sedborough. of Mount Sedborough.
County Fermanagh. John Sedborough was a mem-
ber of the family of Sedborough at Porlock. in Som-
ersetshire, and was one of the original imdertakers in

THE BARU KINSHIP 351

the Plantation of Ulster. Sedborough was allotted
the lands known as " the small proportion of Latgir,"
otherwise Latgare, in the precinct of Clancally, now
Clankelly, County Fermanagh, from King James I,
]May 12, 1G13. To this grant he gave the name of
the Manor of Mount Sedborough. Sedborough died
about the time of Poe's marriage to his daughter
Frances. In Michaelmas term, 1G28, Poe sued out a
commission in the Court of Chancery, requiring cer-
tain commissioners to inquire, with tlie aid of a jury,
as to what breaches, if any, there had been of the
condition as to alienation contained in the Letters
Patent to .John Sedborougli. His professed object
was to discover whether any disloyal subjects were in
possession of lands that properly belonged to the
Crown; but his real object was to obtain for himself
a grant of the foi'feited lands. Aniong those likely
to be affected by Poe's proceeding was Stephen Allen,
Esq., a man of position in the County Fermanagh,
wlio liad obtained title to a part of Mount Sed-
borough. To prevent his title from being impaired,
Allen joined with other tenants or sub-tenants of the
estate in indicting Poe for the offense then known as
common barratry. Poe was charged with being a
public disturber of the peace, an oppressor and
calumniator of the kings subjects, and a stirrer up
of strife among them. The case was tried at the Fer-
managh Assizes, in the spring of 1 028 29. and Poe
was acquitted by tlie jury. Xotwithstanding his ac-
quittal, Allen succeeded in preferring fresh charges
against him for the same offense, and Poe was held
for trial at the next summer assizes. Poe then made

352 THE BARD FA:\IILY

his way to England to seek royal favor and protection,
in which he partly succeeded, and a legal contest fol-
lowed that was very bitter on both sides. Poe was
finally tried a second time and acfiuitted. while Allen
was shown by a Chancery Inquisition to ha\e ob-
tained a grant from John Sedborough in fee without
having taken the oath of supremacy. Allen charged
Poe with forgery in obtaining the King's Letter. Poe
was absent from Ireland from KiiJO to 1637, but in
the latter year, upon his return to Ireland, he was
summoned to appear before the Star Chamber in
London to answer for the alleged forgery. Poe was
sent over to p],ngland for trial. The case was tried
May 30. 1(538, and he was found guilty of procuring
counterfeit persons to personate men of value in seal-
ing a bond for £200. He was held a prisoner in the
King's Bench until 1()42, when he was released and
became a captain in the Parliamentary army.

As an officer in the Ci\il War, ^^"illiam Poe was
given command of a troop of horse, and he seems to
have ser\ed in Cromwell's own regiment. He dis-
tinguished himself at the battle of 3Ielton Mowbray.
In Wio, he was given command of 400 horse, but
within the next year his troop suffered so heavily
that it was reported as consisting of a captain, a
lieutenant, two trumpeters, and three soldiers. In
1647, Captain Poe offered to serve in Ireland, but
money was scarce and there was no means of accept-
ing his offer. He was advanced to the rank of major.
After this he was engaged for some time on special
serxice for the Committee for both houses of Parlia-
ment and actively pursued a course half predatory

THE BARD KINSHIP SoS

und half patriotic. Among those whom he harried
was Sir James Stonehouse, who had bought vahiable
hinds of Sir John Byron, Lord Byron, of Xewstead.
In this connection it will be remembered that his
early }ears were spent on the Byron estate, at Pap-
plewick. Poe continued active in obtaining informa-
tion against the recusants and delinquents for some
years and continued to live in England until 1673.

\A'illiani Poe's first wife, Frances Sedborough, died
within a few years of their marriage, and he was
married a second time, in England, to a woman
Avhose maiden name was Mary Jones. She was the
widow of a knight whose name has not been ascer-
tained. In the entry of her burial, at St. Giles,
Cripplegate, London, she is called Lady Mary Poe.
Lpon his return to Ireland, after his long residence
in England, ^^^illiam Poe began a suit, in ejectment,
for the recovery of Mount Sedborough, claiming a
conveyance from John Sedborough. but died, in 1678,
before the case was determined. The claim seems to
have been an exceedingly nebulous one. After Major
Poes death, his widow, Mary Poe, began proceedings,
in chancery, for the recovery of the Sedborough
manor, which was called, by her late husband. Manor
Poe. In the answer of .lohn Elaine, son of Barbara
(Sedborough) Maine, to the bill of Mary Poe, widow
of ^Villiam Poe, dated May 7, 1686, it was claimed
that the Manor of Mount Sedborough was in-
herited by Peter Sedborough, only son and heir of
.John Sedborough, by his first wife. Peter Sedborough
died before the rebellion of 1641, and the manor
descended to his daughter, Barbara, the mother of

made a will, "considering my great age." dated May
24. 1()78. and proved December 8. 1682. with Mary
Poe. the widow, as sole executrix. In this will,
\Villiani Poe took liimself seriously as a man of
wealth and station, and remembered his nephews and
nieces with small legacies that could never be paid.
One of these bequests to his nephew Richard Poe.
son of his brother Thomas, was especially curious.
It was for "10 tates of my land when they are re-
co\'ered from the heirs of Hugh Lord Greenawley
and Charles lialfour." ^^"hat it all means we can
only surmise. lTei"e was a man whose name is per-
petuated in the Poe bridge, that spans the Poe river,
now generally called the Fairy Water, above its con-
fluence with the Strule. north of Omagh, in County
Tyrone, but the application to which is forgotten. A
Chancery Inquisition, taken at Xewton-Stewart.
County Tyrone. May 29, KiSl, affords a key to the
mystery. According to this inquisition, Bryan

from \^^illiam Poe. assignee under Captain James
Mer\ yn. undertaker of the great proportion of Brade,
in Omagh barony. County Tyrone, the ballibo of
land called Mullaviny, etc., whereby "it is become
forfeited" — that is to say, forfeited through being sub-
let to mere Irish. Brade was originally granted to Sir
Mervyn Tuchett, I^ord Audley's eldest son, by his
first wife. Lucy, daughter of Sir James Mervyn. of
Fonthill. Wilts. From him the title passed to his

THE BARD KINSHIP !355

sister, Christiana, who married Sir Henry Mervyn,
of Petersfield. and from them it was inherited by
Captain James Mervyn, who conveyed to Poe.
Captain Mervyn died without issue and the title now
went to Sir Audley Mervyn, M. P.. for Tyrone, and
from him to liis son, Henry Mervyn, who married
for his second wife. Susanna, I^ady Clanawley, daugh-
ter of Sir \\'iniani lialfour. It would be tedious to
follow the forfeitures, sin-renders and regrants that
finally brought Poe's purchase under the shadow
of the Bessy Bell and Mary Gray, near where I^ord
Audley, the first Earl of Castlehaven, died in 1617,
into the possession of Hugli Lord (Tlenawley and
Charles Balfour. This Hugh Lord Glenawley was
Hugh Hamilton, son of Malcolm Hamilton, Arch-
bishop of Cashel. The Clanawley and Glenawley peer-
ages, of Ireland, are distinct, the former having be-
longed to the Balfours and the latter to the Hamiltons.
Both are extinct, the one expiring in 1034, and the
otlier in 1680. Lord Glenawley obtained his title to the
Poe land by purchase from John I'sslier.who inherited
from iiis father. Sir A\'illiam I'ssher: Sir \ViUiam had
bought them from Sir Pierce Crosbie. Crosbie ob-
tained them through his wife, who Mas the widow of
Lord Audlc}-. Sir Pierce Crosbie was a son of Pat-
rick Crosbye. of Queens county, who had the ward-
ship and marriage of Thomas Beard, of Colte, son and
heir of AA^illiani Barde or Beard, who had a grant of
Maryborough, from Queen Elizabeth. The origin of
the Chai-les Balfour claim is not easy to trace after more
than two centuries of forgetfulness. Even Poe bridge
is a tantalizing reality that affords little aid in span-

ing the Fairy Water of defective titles that WiUiani
Poe, of "Manor Poe." found so bewitching.

Thomas Poe, third son of ^Vuthony Poe. of Pap-
plewick, went to Irehmd as a retainer of Thomas
Blennerhassett, who was an undertaker of 'i.OOO acres
of land in the barony of Lurg. County Fermanagh,
during the Plantation of Ulster. He started in Ire-
land with a brave showing of leases, for he obtained
from Blennerhassett a lease of the tate of Letterbuy.
and the half-quarter of Edernagh, containing two
tates in Edernagh and Dromchime. According to
an inquisition taken at Crevenish, ^Vpril 4. 1(327, he
had not taken the oath required from the assignees or
lessees of the undertaker orjgrantee. This probably
resulted in the end in the surrender of his leases. In
an inquisition in 1630, or before, his arms were
reported as a sword and snaphance. Later, 1637-43,
he was a grazier at Donegal, County Donegal, and
was extensively engaged in buying and selling cattle.
AVhen the great rebellion of 1641 broke out, Poe
took service in the Parliamentary army and served as a
lieutenant until the insurrection was suppressed. After
the outbreak he was robbed of all his personal estate,
\alued at 4i3,36() a \ery large sum in those days. In
the deposition made by him, September 19, 1643, for
the purpose of proving the injuries he sustained, he
is described as "Thomas Poe, of Killeene, in the
County of Donegal, Esq." In a bill in chancery, filed
by him in December of the same year, against Daniel
Hutchinson, of Dublin, for the reco\ ery of a debt,
his place of residence is given as "Donegal, County
of Donegal." He finally settled at Cloghan, a village

THE BARD KINSHIP ;55T

and post-town in the parish of C'allen. barony of
Garry Castle, Kings county.

\Vlien tlie allotment of lands to the soldiers and
adventurers came to be made. Lieutenant Thomas
Poe obtained a grant by I^etters Patent, dated March
2, 1667-68 (20 Charles II), for Killownie, 11.5 acres
profitable, and 62 acres unprofitable: part of Cappah
^^>st, called Lislane. 16 acres profitable, and .50 acres
unprofitable; and part of Knockgiltygranane, 88
acres profitable, and 70 acres unprofitable : a total of
219 acres profitable, plantation measiu'e, and 35.5 acres
statute measure, all in Upper Ormonde barony,
Coimty Tipperary. He also obtained by purchase
382 acres of land, plantation measure, in Xenagh
parish, Lower Ormonde barony. County Tipperary,
which he owned at the time of his death. His will
was dated December 19, 1683, showing that, like his
brother AVilliam, he lived to be a very old man.

Antliony Poe, youngest son of Anthony Poe, of
Papplewick, seems to have gone to Ireland about the
same time as his brothers \Villiam and Thomas. He
settled on the JNIervyn estate, in County Tyrone.
Nothing is known of his doings before the breaking
out of the ci\il war in England. He served for many
years in the Parliamentary army as a lieutenant, and
having attained the rank of captain, was sent o\ er to
Deny in Ireland, with one hundred and fifty men in
1648. He served until the close of the Irish rebellion
and then settled down at Skreene, County JNIeath,
where he died in 1654. His will was made January
10, 1653 54, and proved May 12, l(i54. In his will
he speaks of a grant of which he exidently was then

358 THK HARD FAMILY

in expectation for his arrears of pay in these words :
" Sons Daniel and Anthony, both minors, hinds that
I have or should have from the Commonwealth."
He also mentions " arrears due in England," that he
bequeathed to his daughter Mary. Pro\ ision was
made in 1(;.52, allowing otfieeis of the army to be-
come adventurers for lands on tiie same terms with
men from civil life imder the act of KJ-l'i, generally
called the Act rates. But the adventurers were first
to be settled with before the forfeited estates could
be free for disposal by the Parliament to the army,
and besides, the nati\e Irisli were to be transplanted
into Connaught, one of tlie tragedies of history, or
transported over sea to ser\e as soldiers in other
lands. Captain Foe died during the consequent delay
in the settlement of his claim and it was not imtil
after the restoration that his widow and heir obtained
the grant that he was expecting. These assumptions
are proved by the names of his widow and his children
Daniel, Anthony and Mary being found among the
certificates for ad\euturers, soldiers, etc. (membrane

That his services were considered important, perhaps
involving his death, is shown by a grant of Drum-
goolstown of 4.4.7 acres of land, statute measure, June
18, 1()()7. to Mary Poe, widow, and Daniel Poe, son
and heir of Anthony Poe, gent., and a further grant
of 48 acres, March 24, 1670, to Mary Poe, probably
the daughter and legatee of arrears in England.
Drumgoolstown is a \illage in the parisli of Stra-

bannon, barony of Ardee, County Louth, four miles
from Ardee, on the road to Castle liellingham. Part
of the first grant was on the north side of the river
Atherdee and the other in Athilent. This estate was
afterward known as Foe's Court.

John l*oe, second son of Anthony Poe, of I'apple-
wick, and his father's testamentary heir, is only known
to us through the provision of his father's will and
the mention of him in the will of his brother. Major
William Poe, who speaks of Ann Hide, daughter to
his brother, John Poe, and Ann, her daughter.
\^'^hether he remained on the paternal holding in
Papplewick, went into Ireland or emigrated into the
province of Maryland, has not been ascertained.

There was at least one other Poe, in Ireland at
the Plantation of Ulster, who has not been identified
with the Poes of Papplewick, but who was probably
of the same stock. This was Edward Poe, a retainer
of James Mervyn at the same time with \\^illiam
Poe, afterwards of "Manor Poe." so-called. He was
probably identical with the Poe who married Aime
(Mansfield) Goodwin, widow of Robert (xoodwin.
and daughter of .John Mansfield, who was son and
heir of Captain Ralph ^Mansfield, an English imder-
taker in the precinct of Lifford, barony of Raphoe,
County Donegal, at the Plantation of I'^lster. Cap-
tain ^Mansfield owned the manor of Killerguerdon,
now Killygordon, on the road from Stranolar to Stra-
bane. Robert Goodwin was M. P. for Londonderry
city in 1634. Mrs. Anne Poe was again a widow
in 1 662.

More than a century later was David Poe, of

360 THE BAKU FAMILY

Dring. in the parish of Kildallon. County Cavan, who
is especially interesting to Americans because he was
the ancestor of Edgar Allan Poe. David Poe may
have been a descendant of William Pew. whose name
is found in connection with the ownership of half a
tate of land in Donagh parish. County Monaghan. in
1660. At that time ^\'illiam Poe, of "Manor Poe,"
was still in England, after his long service in the
Parliamentary army, ready to welcome Charles II
back to the throne of the Stuarts. Sir Edmund T.
Bewley, in his " Family of Poe, or Poe," evinces a
commendable earnestness in trying to solve the prob-
lem of the poet's ancestry. That David Poe, of
Dring, was Edgar Allan Poe's great-great-grand-
father is unquestionable. The poet's father and
grandfather were both named David, but these are
the only instances of the use of the name in America.
Neither General David Poe's uncle. ^Vlexander Poe.
of Marsh Creek, or any of his sons, nor any of "CtCii-
eral" Poe's brothers, or any of their sons, ever named
a child David. It is not a family name with the
Poe's in the I'nited States. ^Vhen the eminent Irish
genealogist had traced the poet's ancestry back to
David Poe, of Dring, he could find no thoroughfare
beyond. Expecting to be guided by David as a
family name, he could discover no other David Poe
in Ireland. In his search he uncovered the Poes, of
Clonfeacle, a comparatively modern family of spin-
ners and linen weavers. An examination of the public
records re\'ealed the fact that the Poes, of Clonfeacle,
spelled their name not only Poe, but Poel, Pole,
Pooel, Poole, Powel, Powell, Powle and Pul. There is

THE BAUD KINSHIP 361

something sardonic in the suggestion that the family
of Edgar Allan Poe spelled his name with as many
\ ariants as were used by ^^"illiam Sliakspere. These
variations led to an excursion among the Powells, of
England and Ireland, with the result that it was
foimd that .Jonathan Powell and David Powell
served in one of the regiments of the Parliamentary
army for suppressing the Kebellion of 164.1. After
his marriage, in 1719, another .Jonathan Powell, son
of Arthur Powell, of the parish of Armagh, County
Armagh, settled at Corr, in the parish of Drumlane,
County Cavan, which adjoins the parish of Kildallon,
in which Dring is situated. From this, it is assumed
that .Jonathan Powell, of Corr, and David Poe, of
Dring, were brothers. These genealogical deductions
are almost as weird as one of Edgar Allan Poe's
'i'ales of the Arabesque.

David Poe, of Dring, was a tenant-farmer on the
estate of the Maxwell family, now represented by
Lord Farnham. At the present time the townland of
Dring contains 180 a., 3 r., 10 p.. statute measure, of
which 12 a.. 2 r.. 37 p. are imder water. Between
1720 and 1731, he was a number of times one of the
overseers of the parish of Kildallon. and at the same
period he was a member of the parish vestry. In
1741. he entered into the customary marriage bond
of his son. .lolin Poe, with Jane IMcBride, of Dru-
nudly parish. County Fermanagh. His will was made
August 25, 1742, and proved September 22. 1742.
In his will he named his wife. Sarah ; his daughter
Anne, wife of Archibald Scott; his son, Alexander,
then in America; JNIary Cowan, and his son, John.

362 THE BARD FAMILY

Alexander Poe, elder son of David and Sarah Poe,
of Dring. emigrated to Pennsylvania before 1739. He
was an early settler on the Manor of Masque, in what
is now Adams county. Pa., his claim for his land dating
back to April, 17.'39. He was to receive £.5 sterling
under his father's will, if he returned to Ireland with-
in six years, but he remained on his Permsylvania
farm until his death, about 1787. His will was proved
in York county. March 24. 1788, and that of his
wife, Margaret. January 28, 1789. He had a son.
John Poe. and three daughters : Sarah, wife of James
Marlin ; Mary, who married (1) David Peden, and (2)
Archibald F'indley ; and Margaret, wife of Thomas
Ormond. What became of John Poe has not been
ascertained. The Findleys removed to Indiana
county. Pa., and one of their sons, Alexander, mar-
ried Catharine I^eemer. It is an interesting fact in
this connection that Diemer Bard, younger son of
the Rev. David and Elizal)t;tii (Diemer) Bard, was
one of the witnesses to the will of Martha Find-
ley, of AVhcatHeld township. Indiana county. Pa., in
1819.

.John Poe. younger son of Da\ id Poe. of Dring,
received at his mai-riage one-third of his father's
holding and under the will of his father as much
more as would make up the half, being the fourth
part of Dring, together with ten head of sheep and
the one-half of all tackling belonging to tlie plow.
This shows that David Poe's holding was only one-
half of the Dring farm. In 1749, John Poe emi-
grated to America with his family. As it is said that
he first came to Pemisylvania. it is probable that he

spent some time on his brother Alexander's farm on
the Manor of Masque. Later he removed to Cecil
county, Md. Mr. Poe, was married in Irehmd in
1741. to Jane McBride. who. it is beheved was a
daughter of the Re\'. Robert McBride, for many
years Presbyterian minister at Ballymoney, and a
sister of .John JMcBride, an admiral in the royal navy.
He died about 1756, and his wife in 1802. Their
children were David, Cieorge, .lean, Mary and
William.

David Poe, the eldest son of .John and .lane (Mc-
Bride) Poe, was born at Dring, parish of Kildallon,
County Cavan, Ireland, in 174.2, and died at Balti-
more, Md., October 17, IHK!. He began life as a
wheelwright in Baltimore. As a young man he was
\ery acti\'e in fomenting the Revolution. He is
credited with being the leader of the mob that ousted
]{obert Christie, the provincial sheriff", and with being
concerned in the attack upon the printing office of
William (4oddard. the libeller of ^Vashington. He
was appointed quartermaster at Baltimore, No\eniber
1!>. 1777, and served during the war. AVhen he
grew to l)e an old man he was always called General
Poe. After the Revolution, General Poe became a
merchant in Baltimore, and was very successful. Mr.
Poe was married to Elizabeth Cairnes, of Pennsyl-
\ania. She died .July 7, 1835. His children were
Da\id, Maria, and perhaps others. JNIaria Poe was
born March 12, 1790, and died February 10, 1871.
She was married .luly 13, 1817, to ^Villiam Clemm,
and had a daughter, ^'irginia, who became the wife of
her cousin, Edgar Allan Poe.

364 THE BAUD FA:MILY

David Poe. son of David and Elizabeth (Cainies)
Poe, was born at Baltimore. Md.. about 17H(3, and
died about 1811. He was intended for the legal pro-
fession and began his studies in the office of ^Villianl
Gwynn. Esq., but becoming enamored of a yt)ung
English actress, a widow, he eloped with her and was
disowned by his father. He adopted the stage as a
profession, but was not a brilliant actor. He was
married, in 180.5, to Mrs. Elizabeth Hopkins, widow of
C. D. Hopkins, an actor, who was the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Arnold, singers of repute, at Covent Garden
Theatre, London. She was bi'ought to the United
States by her mother and, as JNIiss Arnold, became a
favorite with American audiences. She died De-
cember 8, 1811. Their children were William Heiuy
Leonard, Edgar Allan, and Rosalie. William Henry
Leonard Poe was born in February, 1807, and died
in July, 1881, and llosalie Poe was born in 1810, and
died, unmarried, .July 21, 1874.

Edgar Allan Poe, second son of David and Eliza-

William Poe, son of John and Jane (McBride)
I'oe, was probablj' born in Cecil county, Md., and
died in Georgia, in August, 1805. He removed to
(Georgia in 1789-90. He was married to Frances
W'inslow. Their children were Robert Forsyth. Ma-

Poe died of yellow fe\er, at Savannah. Cla., in 1827.
She was married to Joseph Cumming, and had
^^'illiam Henry, Mary Cuthbert. Montgomery and
Wallace. It is said of Joseph Cumming that when he
asked the consent of his father, Thomas Cumming.
to his marriage with Matilda l*oe, he received for his
answer: "Yes, my son, but you are not worthy of

366 THE 15ARU FAMILY

William Poe. son of ^^'illiaIn and Frances (\\'inslow)
Poe, had seven children: Thomas, who had a daugh-

wife of D. D. Sloan; Joseph T.. who married Xola
Taylor; Nelson, who married Nannie Crawford;
Harris, who married Miss Sloan; and Francis \\^ins-

and Frances (Winslow) Poe, was a public-spirited
citizen and a man of high character. He was married
to Sahna Shirley Norman, who died in 1896, in her
84th year. Their children were Oliver, Mary (Mrs.
JNIoore), and William.

An early Pennsylvania Poe was Patrick, who died
in Bucks county, leaving a large family of children, of
whom nothing is known to the present writer.

There were German families in Berks and Lan-
caster counties, who spelled their name Poh, but the
only noteworthy German Poes in this country are
descendants of George .Jacob Poe, who settled in
AVashington county, Md. George Jacob Poe died in
Frederick county, Md., in 1766. He emigrated from
Germany before 17-t2, and settled on the Antietam in
Frederick, now \Vashington county, Md. He owned
a plantation on the west side of the creek, in what is
now the I^eitersburg district, before 1748 4!). He
obtained an order for the survey of the adjoining
tract of 100 acres, February 10, 1748, which was
named "Well Taught," and patented July 4, 1749.
Mr. Poe obtained warrants for a resurvey of "A\^ell
Taught" in 1752, the patent for which, dated March
14, 1754, embraced 1,300 acres, and included the site
of Leitersburg. Mucli of the survey was on the east

THE BARD KINSHIP ;3(J7

side of the Antietjini. He sold all liis land except 362
acres in 175.5. Poe obtained another warrant for a
survey of other lands on the west side of the Antietam
in 1761, but the next year he sold the site of Leiters-
burg and assigned his interest in tlie resurvey of
*' ^^'ell Tauglit" to .Jacob Leiter, the ancestor of the
well-known Leiter family, into which I>ord Curzon of
Kedleston married. Later he purchased land on Fish-
ing Creek, Frederick county, jNld. He was murdered
by one of his teamsters on the road to Baltimore.
His children were George, Andrew, Kate and Adam.

George Poe was born in Germany about 1737.
He inherited the Poe homestead near Jefferson, in
Frederick county, INId. In the Revolution he remained
loyal to the crown. His son George was born near
.leflterson, October 7, 1791, and died near Leiters-
burg. Md., February 11, 1869. He was married to
Catharine Ziegler, daughter of George and Barbara
(Beck) Ziegler; they had twelve children. His de-
scendants are still represented among the old families
of ^Vashington county, Md.

Andrew and Adam Poe were the celebrated Indian
fighters, whose struggle with Big Foot in the Ohio
river has become historic. To these brothers Scotch-
Irish antecedents have often been attributed by
American writers.

Andrew Poe was born in Frederick county, Md.,
September 20, 1742, and died in Greene township,
lieaver county. Pa., .July 15, 1823. He is known
among Jiis descendants as Capt. Andrew Poe. He
was married January 15, 1780, to Elizabeth Rutan. a
native of Essex county, N. J. She was born Scptem-

ber 2.5, 1758, and died in Beaver county. Pa. They
had eleven children. The extant family among his
descendants is represented by his son, Adam Poe, who
was born in Beaver comity. Pa., April 4, ITi'l, and
died .laniiary .5. 18.59. He was popularly known as
Deacon Adam Poe. He was married to Elizaljeth
Laughliu. daughter of Thomas and Sarah (Simpson)
I^aughlin. of Beaver county, I'a. Many of his de-
scendants live at Ravenna, O.

Adam Poe was born at sea in 174.5, and died in
Stark county, ()., September 23, 1838. After the
Revolution he settled in ^Vayne township, Columbi-
ana county, 0.,and in 1812 removed to Stark county.
He was married to Mrs. Elizabeth Cochran, the
widow of a settler who was killed on the Ohio river.
She was born in Ireland, February, 1756, and died
December 27, 1844. They had tiiree sons, Thomas,
David and Andrew. Andrew Poe was born in ^^^ash-
ington county. Pa., November 12, 1780, and died in
Stark county, ()., August 12, 1851. He was married
to Xancy Hoy, a nati\e of York county. Pa., who
was born .June 6, 177!*. and died March 29, 1865.
They had twelve children. Of these, his son, Charles
Poe, who was born in Columbiana county. O., Sep-
tember 26. 1807, and died in Coshocton county, De-
cember 14, 1852, was married to Susanna Warner, a
native of Fort Loudon, in Franklin county. Pa. She
was born November 5. 1813. and died March 31,
1881. She was the mother of the late Major Cieneral
Orlando Metcalfe Poe.

rpHOINlAS POE, whose ancestry has not been
-*- estabhslied. was born early in the eighteenth
century, and died in ^Vntrini township, Ciniiberhmd,
now Frankhn county. Pa., in 1770. All the circum-
stances attending his emigration to Pennsylvania, and
his family affiliations and associations, after his settle-
ment, point to Ireland as the country of his nativity.
That he sprang from the family of Anthony Poe, of
Papplewick, is a reasonable conjecture. So far as is
known, there never was any other Anglo-Irish Poe
family. As regards the unattached Poes, as Sir
Edmund Bewley called those for whom he found no
place, they were few in number, and their immediate
famiUes have long been extinct in Ireland. As to the
Clonfeacle Poes, if the Bewley Powell theory has any
validity whatever, they were never Poes at all. Cer-
tainly men like John Poe, of Maryland, Alexander
Poe, of the Manor of Masque, and Thomas Poe, of
Conococheague, would never have called themselves
Poe if their name had been Powell. As to Anthony
Poe, of Papplewick, the descendants of two of his
sons, if any, have not been accounted for. Of Richard
Poe, of Papplewick, nothing is known except his
probable marriage. Of the descendants of John Poe,
Anthonys testamentary heir, except that he had a
daughter, Ann Hide, our knowledge is equally
meager. It is not know^n that he had any sons and it
is not known that he had not. It is not known that

370 THE BARD FAMILY

he ever went to Ireland, and it is not known that he
did not go. As to Sir Ednunid T. Bewley's unsuc-
cessful search of the Hearth Money Rolls, in the most
likely places, for Poes. it has no significance. They
would be most likely to be found in the most imlikely
places. The printed pedigree of Captain Anthony
Poe. of Skreene. is unsatisfactory and probably in-
complete. Only Major William Poe, of "Manor
Poe," can be eliminated from the account, because it
is known that he had no sons.

In his "Family of Poe or Poe." Sir Edmund T.
Bewley says : " Lieutenant Thomas Poe seems also
out of the question, as we have — as will be seen by
Pedigrees A and B — very full information as to his
sons and their issue."

An examination of the Pedigrees shows that they
are far from complete. Of the seven sons of Richard
Poe, of Belleen, eldest son of I^ieutenant Thomas
Poe, of Cloghan. we have a genealogical account of
the descendants of only one — his second son. Edward
Poe. of Belleen. His other sons — Thomas, the eldest,
and ,Iohn, Anthony, Richard, \\^illiam and Robert —
are only names. It is not known whether any of
them married, or whether they died xi?ie prole.
Thomas, the eldest, and, indeed, any one of these
might have been the father of Thomas Poe, of Cono-
cocheague.

In America, the name is pronounced as if spelled
Po, and a similar pronunciation seems to have been
used by the family in England, but in Ireland it
has the sibilant sound, Poey. The use of the French
accent indicates French origin. If the Poes were of

It is not definitely known when the ancestor of the
Poe family, of the Conococheague, came to Pennsylva-

nia. but it was probably before 1741. The tradition
is that Tliomas Poe. the emigrant, and John Potter
came to Antrim township, then in Lancaster coimty,
in 174G. Poe obtained a warrant for his plantation,
October !). 1750. and a warrant for a smaller tract
was dated the same day to Potter. Poe's tract, which

type common among the gentry in Ulster after the
Plantation, and often reproduced in Pennsyhania by
Irish emigrants in the eighteenth centiuy. The main
part of the building is a square structure two stories
in height, with a wing on the south of only a story
and a half. The south wing was built first, in the
lifetime of Thomas Poe. but when the main struc-
ture was erected the whole edifice was made to

archway on the east front, whicli iniites the inain
building and the wing. This archway was, in itself, a
featiu'c of the mansion in the olden time. Whether
it was a broad doorway or an open entrance is a
problem. Later, the archway was walled up at the
sides, probably by Mr. Frederick, to contract the
space for the present doorway. The building, in its

James Poe after the Revolution, is a typical Pennsyl-
vania barn.

Mr. Poe lived on his plantatioi\ until his death,
and was a prominent man in Antrim township. He
filled a number of local offices. He was one of the

overseers of tlie poor in 1702, and he was servino- as
constable in 1770, the year of his death. In tlie
Cumberland county record of his appointment to
these offices his name is written Pow in one case and
Pougli in the pther. His will was probated in Cum-
berland county. September 20, 1770, with William
Duffield and Allan Killouuh as executors. He gave
his only son, James, the plantation on which he lived,
and to his daughter, Mary Long, a plantation in
Hamilton township and a negro girl. To his wife,
Mary Foe, he left, as special bequests, his negro
woman. Nan, and a negro boy, Peter. His other
daughters had apparently received their shares in his
estate as advancements, for he gave Catharine Bard
only £5 and Susanna Potter £lO.

The name of Mr. Poe's wife was Mary. The tra-
dition is that she was Mary Potter, a sister of Cap-
tain John Potter. She died September 2.5, 1788.

TAMES POE, son of Thomas and Mary Poe,
^ was born in Antrim township, Lancaster, now
FrankHii county. Pa., April 15, 1748, and died June
22, 1822. He was brought up as a farmer and fol-
lowed that occupation all his life. As a young man,
he served with Captain James Potter's company in
the pursuit of the Indians that murdered Enoch
Brown, the schoolmaster, and the children at Brown's
school house, July 26, 1764. At the beginning of the
Revolution he was a lieutenant in Colonel John Alli-
son's battalion of Pennsylvania militia, which served
under General Hugh IMercer, at Perth Amboy, X. J.,
in the autumn of 1776. He was a captain in Colonel
Abraham Smith's battalion, Cumberland County As-
sociators, 1777-79. He was in active service with a
marching company in Colonel ^^^illiam Chambers'
battalion of the third class, under the call of Jidy

the Re\'olution. After the Revolution, Captain Poe
held a number of important offices. He was county
commissioner of Franklin county, 178.5-87, and

at the house of George Steck. Chambersburg, August
29. 1809. James Poe was an extensive hmdowner at
the time of his death. His will was dated June 7,
1822. and probated June 2.5. 1822. To his son, .John,
he gave the old Poe homestead: to Mary and Eliza,
his Mifflin county lands on the Kishacoquillas. and
lands west of the Alleghenies; and to Harriet and
Susainia. his Centre county lands. All the shares
were to be equalized. His executors were John Poe,
James Potter (the .Judge). Archibald Bard and
David Fullerton. He named Bard. FuUerton and
Robert Robison to determine the division line be-
tween John and ^^"illiam; and James Potter. Wil-
liam Potter. Andrew Gregg and William Ir\in to
value the lands devised to Mary. Eliza and Susanna.
William Poe died without issue before the will could
be carried into effect. Harriet Poe elected to take
land in Potter township. Centre county, and Eliza
the lands on the waters of the Big Mahoning, in
Jefferson county ; Mary, Eliza. Harriet and Susanna
declined to take any other lands.

Captain Poes father. Thomas Poe. evidently re-
garded his son as a "confirmed bachelor," for his will
contained a provision that in case of James' death
without issue his share in the estate should go to his
sisters and their children. He was subsequently mar-
ried to Elizabeth Cathcart Potter, only child of Gen-
eral James Potter by his first wife, Elizabeth Cath-
cart. She was born in 1767, and died September 11.
1819. Without early educational advantages, Mrs.
Poe became well versed in English literature, and
she was noted as a brilliant conversationalist. She

studied mathematics under Patrick Mennon. an Irish

He began teaching in the coimtry, but upon the
advice of David Rittenhouse. the famous astronomer,
he removed to Philadelphia and opened a mathe-
matical school, and conducted it with success for a
number of years. The accounts of Mr. Porter's entry
upon his Revolutionary career are conflicting. Ac-
cording to a sketch in the Pennsylvania Magazine of
History (Vol. W, p. 263). he was commissioned by
Congress, June 19, 1776, a captain of marines on the
frigate Effingham. The Effingham was an armed
boat of the Peimsylvania \a\ y, but the name of Cap-
tai'.i P<irter does not appear on the muster rolls. In
Heitman's "Historical Register' his record is given
as lieutenant of the 4.th Maryland Battalion of the
"Flying Camp," from June to December, 1776. This
is probably con-ect, as his record is a continuous one
after\vard. He was appointed 1st lieutenant of the

action. In 177i>, he served in (Tcneral James Clin-

Vorktown, Colonel Porter was directed to take
charge of the laboratory at Philadelphia, where the
anniuinition for the siege was prepared. He accepted
with reluctance, because of his earnest wish for ser-
vice in the field.

After the Revolution Colonel Porter was offered
the chair of mathematics in the University of Penn-

only on your own account, but to promulgate it
through the States, the Board make no doubt of
your diligently and manfully applying yourselves to
the task you have undertaken. We have too good an
opinion of you all to suppose that it will be necessary
to impress this sentiment upon you; because should
there be any wlio are negligent, or averse to being
taught, the Board are satisfied, as men regarding tiie
interest of yoin- coimtry, you would retm-n to your
other duty, and put some other person in a situation
so desirable as that you are now in. The time you
have been at Carlisle has been one argument with
the Board, added to their anxiety to have the labora-
tory art more generally known, and we shall be
happy to hear on your return to camp, and we have
no doubt we shall, that tlie knowledge you have
gained at Carlisle is equal to the expectation formed

SMITH

THE SMITHS were of Scotch origin, but settled
in Ireland at the Plantation of Ulster. It is
said that the family name was McDonald. The
ancestor of the Smith family of Chester county. Pa.,
who was a farmer and blacksmith in Ireland, was the
McDonald who adopted Smith as a surname. When
King William III was on his way to Boyne water,
his horse cast a shoe. McDonald, who lived in the
neighborhood, replaced the shoe and thus enabled
King William to reach the Boyne in time to assume
command of his left wing and rout the army of King
James. Because of this timely aid to his sovereign
McDonald "the Smith" became Smith.

ROBERT SxMITll, son of McDonald "tlie
Smith," was born near the waters of the Boyne,
Irehind, and died at New London. Chester county.
Pa., October, 1748. He eniigi-ated to Pennsylvania
about 1720. The name of his wife was Jean. After
his death, his widow removed to Peters township,
Cumberland, now Franklin county. Pa., with her

TAMES SMITH, son of Robert and Jean Smith,
•^ was born in Cliester county. Pa., in 1737, and
died in Bourbon county, Ky., in 181"2. He was one
of the first captives of the French and Indian War in
17.5.5. The story of his captivity, written by himself
for Loudon's '-Narratives," has been reprinted in
" Border Life" and in part in "Our Western Border. "
It is by far the best account of the daily life of the
American Indian e\'er written and earned for its
author the name of "the untutored Defoe." His style
was remarkable for quaintness, simplicity and direct-
ness, and his narrative was replete with the results
of acute observation and illuminated by Hashes of
vivid description. He escaped from his captors in
1760, an"d returned to Conococheague after an
absence of nearly five years. Soon after his return he
organized a company of Indian fighters, who were
dressed in the Indian fashion and trained according
to Indian metliods. To tliesc men was given the
name of the "Black Boys," because they painted their
faces in the Indian colors, red and black. This com-
pany did excellent ser\ ice in the defense of the fron-
tier. Later he turned his company over to his lieu-
tenant, and in 1704, received a lieutenant's commis-
sion and went out with Boucjuet's expedition on the
Muskingum. In 17<).5, when the Indian traders were
carrying arms and anununition to the western sa\ -
ages, who were then threatening hostilities. Captain

Smith determined to prevent the trade. Hastily
gatherinu- a number of his old "Black Hoys." he met
the traders at Sideling Hill, and after routing them,
destroyed their goods. Another exploit of his at this
time was a siege of the English garrison at Fort I^ou-
don, which he brought to terms. He subsetjuently
surprised Fort Bedford and released some of his
"Black Boys" who were prisoners in the fort. In
1709, he was tried on a charge of nuu-der at Carlisle,
but it was shown that he could not possibly have
fired the fatal shot, and he was acquitted. After his
acquittal he removed to Bedford county, now N^^est-
moreland, and was captain of a ranging company in
Dunmore's War in 1774. He was active in the
^Vestmoreland county militia in 1775-7(5, and became
major of the second battalion, \Vestmoreland County
Associators. Major Smith was a member of the
Pennsylvania Convention of 1770, and of the ^Vssem-
bly. 1776-77. While he was in the Assembly, he
organized a scouting party, and went in aid of (tcu-
eral AVashington's army in the .lerseys. After the
Revolution, he removed to Kentucky, where he
served as a member of the Legislatiu'c. Colonel
Smith was twice married. His first wife was ^Vnna
^Vilson, and his second wife, Mary Rogers.

William Smith, son of James and Jennet Smith,
was born in Chester county. Pa., and died at

man, he came to the Conococheague Valley, and as
early as 1748, was lieutenant of Capt. Richard
O'Caine's company, in Col. Benjamin Chambers'
regiment. He removed to the neighborhood of
Mercersburg soon after 1751. The site of the moun-

THE HARD KINSHIP 457

tain town, afterward known as Smith's or Sniitli's-
Town, was then a frontier trading-post. The first
settler was James Black, who built a mill there, and
gave the incipient village the name of Black s-Town.
Black's name is not on the hst of taxables for 1751,
but it may be assumed that Ann Black, who was a
taxable, was his widow. \\'^ithin a year or two the
mill and trading-post had passed into the possession
of Smith, who soon became the most prominent and
acti\e man on the frontier. In 1755, he was ap-
pointed one of the commissioners to build the road
from iMcDowell's Mill to the Three Forks of Voughi-
gheny, intended to enable (Tcneral Braddock to ob-
tain supplies for his army. In this work he was \ery
zealous. In 1757 the dissatisfaction of the magis-
trates of Cumberland county with the provincial
authorities was so great that the justices resigned.
Among the new justices appointed July 18. 1757.
was \\'illiain Smith. He held office until January
15. 17()(). when he was superseded for participation
in the affair at Fort I^oudon. The story is told in
detail in the narrative of Col. James Smith, in " Bor-
der Life." wlu) was tiie brother-in-law of Justice
Smith. While James Smith was in jail at Carlisle
awaiting trial on a false charge of murder, ^^'illianl
Smith wrote a manly and convincing letter to the

attending the shooting and showing that the fatal
shot could not have been fired by Ca])tain Smith.
This letter w^is printed in the " Gazette," \o\ ember

of land in Germany township, Vork, now Adams
county, on which he laid out the town of Petersinno', in
17(i5. Accordint-- to tiie original plan it consisted of
tifty-sevcn lots, 66x254 feet. Each purchaser was re-
([uired to build a dwelling house eighteen feet square
within three years. Although the deeds recited that it
was to be called Petersburg forever, the German part of
the j)opulation named it "Kleina Stedtle" from the out-
set, and it soon became known in English as "Peter
Little's town." Then the name Peter was dropped, and
the village took its present name of Littlestown. This
confusion led to a blunder in Appleton's "Cyclopedia of
American Biography," that has in it something of the
irony of fate, Peter's Klein's son, Peter Little, of Mary-
land, being described as born at Petersburg, Hunting-
don county. Pa. On his tombstone the name of the
